I've had this issue as well, but clearing cache and cookies does resolve it for me.

Thanks a lot, clearing cookies (and not cache) fixed the connection problem... I still have weird behavior here and there like it's difficult to get the interface to stay in English (my browser is in a different language by default), and also I don't see this post (my post on the support channel about internet connection) anywhere in my profile... but it's a big improvement already. Thanks again
You're welcome. Lemmy right now has performance issues because thousands of people joined suddenly. After the usage stabilizes in a few days and server resources are increased, it will function better again.
Thanks again for your help, that helped tremendously
Did you try rebooting?
Rebooting my computer? Yes I did, several times. As someone else suggested, I also removed the site's cookies (and not just cache), and that fixed a lot of things
