@lemmyworld Probably already known but I can't seem to create a Lemmy account. The register button just keeps spinning. Also noticed this on feddit.nl (mastodon.xyz)

Can be a few things:

Username already taken (check https://lemmy.world/u/username replacint username with yours
Password too long (I'll find out what Lemmy's max currently is)
Username too long (20 is max)

@ruud Thanks for the quick reply! It was probably the password then (generated with password manager). Will try again

@ruud Guess it was one of those things. I could register this time :)

It’s possible they closed registration. That’s what happens when I tested it on my instance.

Not saying for your instance. But other random ones. It’s why I just set mine to applications only and kinda says “I’m not really open for users but shoot your best shot”

I had this, had to try later. Think server overloaded.

Server isn't overloaded. It's sleeping. ;-)

Currently only the server logs shoe the errors when signing up, kind of annoying to not know whats the issue as a user.

Figured out you can't use thee same email twice by looking at my own server logs. Same of you don't match passwords perfectly, another silent fail for the user.
