Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Virgin Media blocking Lemmy (lemmy.world)

Morning all. Unsure where to post this, so here I am...

Anyone here on Virgin Media having difficulty accessing Lemmy content (I'm on lemmy.world)?

Started a couple of days ago, tested with my pi-hole off so I know its not that. The only way I can access is mobile data.

Cheers.

I'm on virgin and lemmy.world and seems to be working fine.

On Virgin too - no issues for me.

No problems here with VM.

[–] Syldon@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Fine here also. Check your account settings.

I saw several posts yesterday about a DDoS at lemmy.world and lemmy.ml, so perhaps this is what you experienced.

No issues with Virgin here. As has been said lemmy.world and lemmy.ml were down for over an hour the other day but everything is humming along nicely now.

Back when I was last on VM, I remember they had the adult site blacklisting switched on by default. I can't imagine why Lemmy would be falling foul of that, but maybe that's the issue?

It's possible...The list tends to work in a knee-jerk way. If something abhorrent was reported on the platform, it's possible they blocked the lot.
It's also possible it got flagged as porn, and OP has the default grot-filter enabled (it is by default).
