Already signed up. Got the login verification email, followed through and did the security thing, “type the word from our sidebar below” passed all that and can not login.
I appreciate that but don’t bother. I tried with the instance listed in this post and still got the same login issues even after receiving the email to login and passing the security check etc. I deleted the app. I’ve tried enough times and never had any success so I won’t be trying again.
I think they signed up at 50501.chat.
It’s a shame that Lemmy is missing out on new users just due to signup issues.
We’re working on ways to make things quicker!
This is my big problem with the Fediverse right now, not just Lemmy but Mastodon as well. Signing up is confusing as hell, finding the same communities as what we’re used to on Reddit on Lemmy is borderline impossible when presented with the same communities across each instance. I follow several Politics communities and then I get a home page with multiple posts of the same link but different communities.
Grandma and Grandpa are on Facebook and Reddit because it’s dead simple to create an account on both and find communities. They ain’t coming to Lemmy without significant changes to the sign up processes. They don’t care about centralized vs decentralized, is it as easy as what I’m trying to replace?
Surprised they didn’t call the 1-900 number to speak to the manager
Skill issue, stay out.
The dummies ruined Facebook, they ruined Reddit, and they’ll ruin Lemmy too.
Keep the mass organizing for their kind on Bluesky where people at least get paid to deal with their bullshit
“The dummies” didn’t ruin either Facebook or Reddit. The companies changing policies and algorithms in an effort to drive profit did.
I had to wait until I got approved by the admin. Maybe that’s what the problem is.
