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.

Its because you're on lemmy.world

Join us lemmy.dbzer0.com

We do not discriminate, I use Tor just fine.

Alternatively you can try my recommended instances:

sh.itjust.works

lemmy.ca

sopuli.xyz

(I have not tried these over Tor yet, so test it for yourself)

I left lemmy.world for these reasons. Haven't had any issues with lemmy.ml yet though πŸ‘

I tried to switch, but I had an issue with dbzer0 not marking posts as read which didn't work out for me.

Hmmm

Are you sure its not an app issue? (I use web UI btw, its flawless, zero bugs)

You can also try the other ones I've mentioned, they look great (even if the sh.itjust.works name is a bit goofy)

It's likely a bug with the app as I use Sync, though it only occurs with dbzer0, 1 of 3 of my accounts.
