!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Hit the refresh button on your browser. I’ve been having the same issue and a refresh has solved it!
To be clear: put in your creds, let the spinny thing spin for a few seconds, THEN refresh your browser.
I am doing this but it does nothing for me :(
Most Lemmy instances are seeing a surge in activity; between their own users and activity from across the federation incoming (a lot of new posts and comments to cache, etc). So this is probably causing slow responses.
The API calls aren't returning fast enough on already-loaded pages (so the existing page shows a spinner waiting for a response) but a fresh page load (possibly taking priority over API calls) is probably returning results to you faster.
This also seems to be what is causing crashes with some of the mobile apps (Mlem has been giving me issues) as it browses just fine but if I try to reply or upvote then it hangs for a bit then crashes (almost like a server confirmation is timing out and it's not liking that). Not to say these apps are bad; they're like super-early alpha version and I'm running them from iOS TestFlight.
I really hope this is the answer and that it solves by itself. But i don’t know... I have been trying since Thursday to log in and nothing yet. I’m going to give it more time then. Thank you for your answer.
I am a newbie. Same was happening to me on Firefox. Then I switched to Safari and that seems to remember my log in and lets me in. I am wondering if it is a browser issue (I have ad block on Firefox running).
It is true that I am using Firefox with adblock. But it happens in a clean Microsoft Edge too…
Can't identify the problem, but I feel like this is a very common issue in web design: Failing to account for negative use cases. Ideally, a failure to send a request like "Please log me in!" should remove the loading spinner, and display a generic error screen that absolves the user of blame. Even at professional companies, they sometimes forget to set that up, and so you only see constant loading even though it's already failed.
