![[SOLVED] Still can't sign up for Beehaw 😞🐝](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/8e18b3b1-9efa-4a71-a700-916f499cfaa2.png){kind=link}
[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’m 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 know someone who is experiencing this as well. I don’t have an answer, but this may be an issue that affects multiple users
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.
I am having the same issue. I signed up a couple days ago, got the eternal spinny, tried again several times. finally today I just used a different email and tried again and got approved right away. when I search I can see the account was created but get the spinny when I try to login. I tried to reset my password and it went to the email I used so I know it’s not someone else’s account. resetting my password didn’t fix it either.
