I am unable to access the website without a VPN. My original IP is from a country in Asia.

Is this a temporary lockdown? It is a hassle to turn on VPN just for browsing Lemmy on my phone since my other most-used apps do not play well with a VPN. On a laptop, it is not much of an issue. But this will severely limit the time I peruse Lemmy.

Alternatively, I could use my lemmy.world alt, but I will lose access to dbzer0 specific communities.

dbzer0 is physically hosted in Germany. Spitballing here, but it is likely that the EU host provider rate limits or bans certain IP blocks from "high risk" areas like Asia.

Even from the US like myself the site will frequently just.... Not load properly across the Atlantic.
