I'm not exactly too sure if this is the place to post, but my brother and I are having a bit of an issue playing on the same server. Whenever he and I connect to the same server, we're getting some massive lag making it a bit unplayable. All other players on the server are fine and not experiencing any lag.
Anyone have any experience / fix for this? Any information would be helpful. Thanks!
Firstly experiencing lag can be caused by many reasons. As you mentioned that you and your brother were connecting to a server, this would most probably mean that there is high latency(ping).
High latency just shows that the connection to the server is slow, or that your physical location and the server's physical location are too far apart(geographically) hence experiencing bad pings. Usually this cannot be helped and efforts to reduce the latency will only result in minor differences.
The only way to solve this is to change the server that you are currently playing on.
The second reason might be your hardware. If you also experience lag in singleplayer mode then it is due to hardware reasons. Unless you upgrade you computer, turning down graphics settings should also help to reduce the lag.

Hope this helped you in some ways!
Along with what williyao said, try joining a server closer to you. (i.e. if you're located in the US, don't join a EU server)
