On desktop, the submit a post page will load indefinitely without proceeding when connected with Proton. On mobile (using Boost for Lemmy), I always get “an unknown error occurred” when submitting anything to Lemmy. Anyone else having this issue?
From the lemmy.world sidebar.
Please note, you will NOT be able to comment or post while on a VPN or Tor connection
That answers it, thank you.
Thanks for the link and for letting us know!
I have no issues with OpenVPN on a router and a proton setup
Happens sometimes, but I found switching to a different state works fairly well (in the US at least)
I am on a well-known VPN, and the same thing happens once in a while.
On Destop and on the Lemmy apps (Jerboa, Infinity for Lemmy, etc.).
I am not sure if connection is lost while making post, but rarely it goes through.
I do double check before I redo the post again to try to make sure I don’t create a duplicate post.
On my end, it may be my connection to wifi or some setting on my system that losses connection.
Again, it happens once in a while, so I know when it does not go through and keeps loading to post, I will have to exit and start over to create a new post.
Yep, that’s exactly what’s happening here with me (I had to disconnect from Proton to submit this reply, then reconnect). Not sure if it’s an issue with Lemmy or Proton.
It’s your home instance. Lemmy.world is blocking vpns.
Thanks for sharing with us, we are not alone!
Oh, @InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works seems to have found the likely cause.
