This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I have noticed this too when using a VPN, some of Mullvads servers are blocked.
I know everyone here hates reddit but come on we all go to reddit when we need to find some information because its almost always guaranteed to be there whereas on Lemmy unless it is something tech related or foss related, its pretty much a shot in the dark.

Most of us dumped Reddit when third party apps went away. I personally haven't been back to Reddit since creating a Lemmy account. Screw that place; they don't deserve my patronage anymore. Or anyone's, for that matter. Continuing to use their content is justifying their shitty business practices. It'll never get better if people keep enabling it.
Also, what specific info are you searching for that Reddit can provide? Their search function has always been garbage. Or are you referring to general content and/or subs that don't have an active userbase here yet?
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.
Fuck em
"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
I just keep opening new accounts until they ban them, rinse and repeat
