As a first-time user I'm enjoying Lemmy. I feel like I want to contribute mostly because I won't have an immediately antithetical comment to follow my own. Am not looking for an echo chamber, I'm looking for conversation and sharing ideas. Reddit has devolved and this seems like the best way forward, for now.

"Woah there, pardner"? What the fuck is going on with Reddit? Do they think they are like cool cowboys in the old west?

Use an alternate front-end. There's a couple of them out there but usually the less popular domains are less laggy. I'm currently using https://teddit.hostux.net/r/popular

Works with my VPN, I suspect this is a user agent issue rather than VPN

The less nefarious explination for what might be happening there is that Reddit has blocked that VPN ip because it's been used for bots and logging in with a known good account bypasses that block.
