Virgin Media blocking Lemmy?
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.

Give feddit.uk a go instead. So much faster for me on VM.
I'm on VM and not had a problem. Lemmy.world has had some issues over the last few days though, I've had to log out and log back in again a few times.
Lemmy.world has been shit the last few days. Not on VM here.
Late response but I got to the root of the issue. Lemmy (well, lemmy.world) wasn't being cached by Quad9's DNS servers.
I tested by using different DNS servers (OpenDNS) which worked fine, then permanently resolved it by installing unbound on my pihole and using that instead.
Tl;dr it was DNS
It's always DNS
Can't say I've noticed owt here (outside of the ddos stuff over the weekend obviously). There was a thing where everyone had to log out and back in, including on mobile apps, when lemmy.world upgraded to 0.18.2 but that was a while ago now so probs not that if it's just started.
Hmm, not sure what else to suggest really!
For years they blocked Reddit on the underground so this ain't surprising.
I'm with VM and Lemmy has been fine for me.
What app are you using?
