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 used to have the same issue with lemmy.world - it’s the instance

This is it! Instance blocks it.

.world is a fickle bitch in general. It would be good if more users and communities balanced out amongst other instances.
