[SOLVED] Still can't sign up for Beehaw 😞🐝 (lemmy.world)

[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

What? You signed in today? https://beehaw.org/u/Dee

I am very confused.

That's not me O_o

I guess somebody already took Dee on beehaw, I'll try again with another username but I didn't get any error that the username was taken already. Thank you for linking that, maybe it was that simple haha

Ah yeah, Lemmy doesn't say when a username is taken..

Was that really the problem all along?

[–] Dee 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It seems to have gone through now 🤦‍♀️

That's a little frustrating (not your fault or any of the mods) I would really like to have that added to the roadmap for Lemmy in the future. The fun of alpha software lol

Thank you for taking the time to comment and help clear this up though. Is there an FAQ I missed that says there's no error for taken usernames?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

According to their Github issue tracker, they're aware and are working to fix it (based on the pull request)!

The lemmy software is still a bit rough. It can only get better though, we all just need a little patience (or to contribute if we're able) 😊

As far as I know, I don't believe there's an FAQ that explains these issues. I could be wrong though!

Thank you for the additional info from the links! But yeah, definitely some kinks in the software but I'm really enjoying it and the community that's gathered here. I'll definitely be contributing more soon! 😄

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's been approved. Thank you for your patience.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Thank you very much!

Now to catch up with my lemmy.world account in comments and submissions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Idk about that, I just want Lemmy/Fediverse to thrive so I'm gonna contribute content to make that happen 😄
