That’s it, I get an error message whenever I try to post or comment if I’m connected to my VPN, butnot trouble if I just get disconnected. Does not fit the idea of decentralized social media I had, but overall I’m mainly curious as to the reason why it is so.
I believe Lemmy.world blocks VPNs. You could try a different instance which doesn’t have that policy
I comment on Lemmy.World all the time via a VPN though. Maybe they don’t allow it for accounts on their instance?
You are commenting on a lemmy.world community, but your connecting to sh.itjust.works, who then talks to lemmy.world. Your VPN isn’t connecting directly to lemmy.world
I use a VPN and have never had issues connecting to lemmy.world despite regularly having issues with YouTube and Reddit. I wonder if its specific VPN networks or blacklisted IPs that lemmy.world doesn’t like.
Maybe .world only blocks the big VPNs. World pages also load very slow at least comparing to .ml. When someone links a .world link directly to a post there it takes ages to load.
