Can't seem to create an account... (sh.itjust.works)

First, sorry if this isn't the right place for this.

I've got an account on sh.itjust.works, but I'd like to make one here since most of the communities I'm into are here.

Problem is, once I hit the "Sign Up" button it just spins indefinitely. I let it sit for a while once, no change, then tried to log in, once again nothing.

Is there some missing requirement I'm not meeting or something? Or is this just a result of the exodus of people from Reddit to here? If so that's fine, I'll just wait. But I want to see if this is something on my end or not.

Nope. There are just a lot of issues around signup and login (see GitHub issue list for lemmy-ui project).

Even though you are seeing the spinner of doom, it’s possible your registration went through, even if you didn’t get an email.

Try to log in and see if it works.

By the way, long passwords, like the “strong passwords” generated by browsers in iOS will result in an invalid user and you won’t be able to log in until you reset your password to something shorter without any - characters in it.

Try the to reset your password via the forgot password link. Put the email you used to signup into the user field and click Forgot Password.

At least you still have your sh user so you can interact with the communities on lemmy.world.

Good luck!

I'll give it a shot. Logging in gave me the same thing and the "Forgot Password" isn't working (for me right now)... but I'll try again later tonight, hopefully less traffic then. Thanks for the answer!

Good luck! I really hope you are able to get it resolved.
