[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’ve tried several times to create an account. Username meldroc.

    When I fill out the form and click to submit, it gives me an eternal spinny, no feedback on whether anything’s happening or if it’s just stuck.

    Try to login, only a spinny.

    What am I doing wrong?

      I’d try another username, idk if this is you but it looks like that one already exists. That’s what was happening with me anyway.
