lemmy.world does not allow the use of vpn to post. vpn is basic internet hygiene. do not go to lemmy.world if you care about that, our you will not be able to post.

you can join any federated instance instead.

one day later edit: i took my information from this post of a lemmy.world admin: https://lemmy.world/comment/12079632

I was made aware that users are able to post on lemmy.world while using a vpn. maybe their stance has changed?

aside from that, try to avoid joining the biggest instance and join smaller, federated instances instead. this reduces load and avoids centralization.

9 out 10 VPN companies recommend hiding your IP address.
