They are overloaded, try Lemmy.world

Or one of the smaller instances!

Have you checked if a user with the same name already exists? Currently it is bugged and doesn't show an error message.

I will check but I doubt it.

I had to join at lemmy.click

Both .nl and .world were not working for me.

I don't think there is a lemmy.nl. But if you're looking for a Dutch server, you can try feddit.nl

Typo. I meant Lemmy. ML

I had a similar experience signing up to lemmy.world. I switched to a different password and was able to sign up. However, one of the commenters says that registration at lemmy.ml is closed.

Not sure if this was a problem but when trying to register to certain instances on my phone (Chrome iOS) the ball would spin forever. When doing it on my desktop it was no problem.

What is wrong with yer current instance? There is no real detriment to not being on Lemmy.ml if ye are are already on another instance

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Heh, the op was somehow under "hot" for me, might have to switch to sorting by new or top-day

I think lemmy.ml is just receiving a huge amount of traffic all of a sudden. Even just a couple percent of all redditors suddenly making an account on Lemmy servers will give their comparatively smaller servers the beating of a lifetime.
