I realized I couldn’t comment on anything this morning. I tried clearing the app’s data and logging back in to no avail.

But then I disabled my NordVPN connection and everything went back to working.

Is this expected behaviour?

    I have the exact same issue. Someone is blocking. I have a dedicated IP and still get hit.

    I assume it’s not Boost.

    It’s lemmy.world blocking the API calls when you use VPN. Bring it up with the admins, nothing boost can do.

      Sidenote, that’s something I love about the Fediverse. Something server-side you don’t like? Ask the admins, who are real people who do this as a (semi-paid) hobby.

      Don’t like something about BlueSky, Threads, etc.? Talk to Customer Service, and they’ll be sure to round-file your complaint right away!

    I think I heard that is a Lemmy World thing. I guess it cuts down on trolls and spam because you have to connect from a real ip

    If you change IPs you might stumble on one that isn’t blocked. Many websites block VPNs so if you have problems online check if it’s the VPN.
