It’s when the Americans already went to bed but the Europeans didn’t wake up yet. I’m in South Korea and around lunch even sorting by “New” doesn’t give me any new posts, sometimes up to one hour.

do you use VPN to connect from China or you can connect without it?
Some instances are available, so federated content is visible if you’re on one that works. But external links often don’t, and you generally want to hide your online presence even if the sites you visit are not blocked, so I’m using a VPN near 24/7.
I’m surprised the great firewall doesn’t block known blocks of VPN IP addresses.
Impossible, VPN providers rent server space in large data centers, just like any other “legitimate” service. If they were to blacklist entire blocks, they’d shut out a number of services people are, meant to use.
So they’d have to surgically blacklist individual IP addresses - which they do, mind you - but it’s a matter of 3 clicks for the VPN provider to change to any other IP within the data center. And they operate in hundreds of locations globally, so even if one is shut down for good, you got plenty of alternatives.
