When connected to my VPN, which I am as much as possible, I can not vote, save posts or comment (presumably I can't post either) on lemmy.world. I can understand the admins' motivations given recent troubles, but it isn't a reasonable, privacy-considerate solution.
403 errors for me… Removed my account from Sync, tried to sign back in but get 'Invalid login' messages, even with the same credentials I'm using to login via the browser and post this comment.
Edit: Sync returned the 'invalid login' error continually until I disconnected my VPN, then I could add the account again… Seems Lemmy.world is blocking at least some ProtonVPN servers right now, as switching the VPN back on post-login generates the 403s again. Nasty.
Liftoff has been very flakey for me all day, but wefwef has been fine so I don't think it's entirely down to server loads and the influx of new users. When Liftoff has completely failed to load posts or comments for me, clearing the app cache has fixed the problem, at least temporarily.

That C64 Rob Hubbard high score entry tune still plays flawlessly in my head 35+ years later and leaves me misty-eyed...
These posts are fantastic, by the way! Thank you.

m.lemmy.world for that sweet Voyager UI on the desktop
All these places are easy to see in relation to central London on Google Maps or, if you hate Google, OpenStreetMap.

Seconded re. Lemmy 0.18, just because the latest Jerboa release won't support Lemmy.World until it's updated. Edit: don't pull the trigger on a Jerboa update if you're a Lemmy.world fan.
Me neither. It certainly struck a chord.
The linked essay it came from is excellent, by the way. Highly recommended.
