[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

Likewise here -- set up a username with this same username, checking the user page shows it created on the same day I set it up, and just get stuck with a spinning icon when trying to log in. Frustrating. Worse, I got that spinner so bad when trying to sign up that I don't know if it actually created the account with the first time I clicked to register (and never went through), or the first time it actually went through, much later in the day. I was using a password manager and I have no clue what that first attempt might have had. Even worse, I decided not to try it with an e-mail in the form, as that wasn't necessary and the one I'd tried to submit with an email address also gave me the spinning icon, so I have no way to re-set the password if it's the first option.
