"Sorry, some kind of error has occurred: There was an error communicating with the network. Please try again later."

I get this error every time I try to comment or subscribe to a Workshop thread. I'm not using VPN, I'm using my regular home network, and apparently Steam can download games/patches/content through that and allow me to post this. Does anyone know what's happening or how to fix this? It's been ongoing for three days now.

Can't write any comment: "Sorry, some kind of error has occurred"

Screenshots, reviews, artworks, groups. Always the same error:

This seems to be a common problem right now.
Please be patient. I'm sure Steam will fix it soon.

Same. I need to tell a workshop mod owner that his mod is a reupload too. :(

And I want to answer somebody who asked a question on my guide page.

Also, when I was trying to fix it myself, I tried to toggle my subscription to the thread. It let me unsubscribe but I can't re-subscribe! Arg!

We'll pull through, Jdance.... <shuddering voice> somehow.

(One hour at a time, Zloth, one hour at a time.)

I've had this issue since yesterday, I'm the most popular modder on Kenshi currently and it's rather annoying not being able to comment on my own mods.
