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.
