Writing this from LemmyWorld because I can't access my lemmy.ml account.

I enabled 2FA and I was told to go down for instructions, yet no instructions were down the page. Days later I was signed out and now I can't log in because it asks for a non-existant 2FA code. How do I sign in? Thanks

I had the same problem here on lemmy.world and was able to get around the lockout by simply clicking the "forgot password" link on the login page and resetting my password via the email link. After that, I immediately went into my account settings and removed 2FA. I honestly can't believe it worked.

Got in. Thanks!

Only admins can help you there, since they have access to the database and can clear the 2FA from your account. So your best bet is to contact them

The implementation wasn't clear and your acct is probably gone, sorry. I'd say contact the admins to see if they can do anything but lemmy.ml admins are probably pretty busy
