[SOLVED] - Lemmy doesn't notify you if the username is taken and just hangs indefinitely if it is taken. Just an fyi to anybody else who's having issues signing up for a Lemmy instance.
Title says it all. I've tried multiple browsers, restarting, flushing dns and everything else I can think to troubleshoot this on my end. Whenever I try to sign up it just hangs infinitely on the page that I took a screenshot of, with the submit button spinning.
How can I join this side of lemmy? Lemmy.world is pretty good but I would like to be in an instance that is defederated from lemmygrad please lol
I guess somebody already took Dee on beehaw, I'll try again with another username but I didn't get any error that the username was taken already. Thank you for linking that, maybe it was that simple haha
A spinning wheel, probably means it failed. Could be the username is taken. Could be you already created it and now the username is taken. Wait to be approved. You get an email.
I haven't gotten an email saying I'm approved, and it's been several days. But when I click "forgot password" I get a password reset email with my username.
Iβm having a similar problem. Submitted to join ~1.5 days ago and see that the account is created (same username as this account). But when I try to login it just spins forever.
note: Pretty sure that the account had not been created when I submitted to join. I checked the user page and the user age matched the date/time of when I tried to create an account.
I am having a similar issue. Used the same name as this (answers_to_kv). I saw that my username exists and the account was created yesterday (the day I made it) but I am unable to log in :/ any advice?
Lemmy creates the account before being approved - it is quite silly. If you can give me the username, I can give it a look, we're currently going through all the backlog for people we missed.
Same. Made an account there Saturday, after checking for another user with the same name. For a 404 error, tried to sign up, and got stuck with a spinner when trying to log in.
I've been having the same issue. It goes on loading state forever and no feedback. Tried multiple usernames and none of them have been taken, so that isn't the problem.
No kidding. Tried a few times to create an account. Even wrote in my 9 year old reddit account as proof that I am not a bot, no luck. Kinda given up at this point.
