Ilemmy.world is currently experiencing great difficulties due to the large influx of users. Fortunately, the system is decentralized and we can use other servers 🙂

I think the confusion stems from the fact that you can't simply register on an app. On both mobile and desktop however, the following works.

I think it handy if we were to repost this instruction manual (link to this comment itself) to everyone:

1. Go to the Join Lemmy page.

2. Click on "Browse" on any of these instances.
(each instance is like a Reddit on their own, with their own subreddits. You can generally see and interact in any of these Reddits.)

3. Click on the ≡ icon in the right.

4. Click "Sign up", and enter the following.

Username
Password
Email address
(sometimes) captcha

You may need to verify this account by email.
Once done, your account is enabled.

Have fun on Lemmy!

For mobile users (Apple iOS):

5. Download Testflight from the App Store. Then download any of these Lemmy iOS apps, such as Mlem. Other great apps are Wefwef (runs in browser too!), Memmy (lots of functionality) and Thunder (resembles Apollo).

For mobile users (Android):

5. Download any of these Lemmy Android apps.

For DESKTOP users, optional:

5. Download any of these Lemmy desktop UI looks.. I personally like this Firefox addon..
