Yesterday I bought Rust on Steam, I downloaded and installed it without any problem. When I try to join a server to play, it stays on the loading screen for about 20 minutes and when the game finally starts it is extremely laggy, and I can't play at all.
I would like to know what the problem is.
I don't think the problem is due to my PC, as I can play Skyrim in ultra.

Honestly, your specs are not too good.
The issue with the loading screen is probably due to the slowness of your hard disk, it might have problems if the HDD is almost full.
The specs are kinda low, the problem with Indie games is that they are usually less optimized then triple A games. Also, remember that Skyrim came out in 2011! ( God I'm old )
It could also be a CPU/RAM problem, can you give us your CPU specs?
Also try to open the task manager ( Ctrl + Shit + Esc ) and watch your RAM/CPU consumption.
Have you tried closing everything else before playing the game? ( Especially close Google Chrome since it likes to devour a lot of RAM )
