I can’t create posts or comments on a community that I created, on LW, while logged in on my LW account.

I can post just fine from my lemmy dot one account to the same LW community?

I turned my VPN off and was able to comment.

What gives? Is open source Lemmy blocking VPN’s?

Thanks. What a ridiculous restriction. Is LW defederated from lemmy.one? I can’t see my other replies from the other account. Is that because dot One allows VPNs?

Each instance shows who they’re linked with. Lemmy.world’s is https://lemmy.world/instances

lemmy world is proxied behind cloudflare, anti vpn is part of the anti spam

Actually, it absolutely is Lemmy blocking it.

Edit: from the above…

it is most likely because we [Lemmy World admins] have implemented a block for VPN & Tor users.

no lemmy means the Lemmy protocol, not the lemmy.world instance

hence why op was able to post on another instance

That’s like saying the guy who hired a hitman to kill his wife isn’t responsible because he didn’t pull the trigger himself.
