tried the big three (browsers), no go.

Yes, I saw the post on that, and given I am a software developer thought maybe I’d take a look, but figured someone else must be looking by now, hopefully.
Yes, but I tried to sign up a few times and let iOS set a “strong password” for me each time so unless there is some way to reset the password…
Yep… login just spins forever. The forgot password link doesn’t do anything.
Man… I really wish my signup on beehaw.org would get approved. I wonder if it has something to do with emails not going out?
Yeah, I saw that too, but other places I signed up still haven’t approved me, so I signed up here.
The three parallel horizontal lines in the top right next to the bell icon.
Time will tell. Given Reddit’s behavior recently, alternatives like lemmy are bound to see a spike in users. Just keep in mind that more users doesn’t necessarily mean good content.
I haven’t heard anything either. They are probably slammed. 🤷🏻♂️
You can still subscribe to and post to their communities from here. You don’t actually need a user on beehaw.org
Open the hamburger menu, then click the search icon and put [!gaming@beehaw.org](/c/gaming@beehaw.org) in the search box and click search. You’ll then be able to look at that community from lemmy.ml, and in the sidebar you can subscribe. You can also up and downvote, comment, etc.
Replace gaming with whatever community you are trying to join. Also beehaw.org is just an example. You can “join” any instance that isn’t currently blocked by lemmy.ml AFAIK.
I’ve only been here a day or so, but having to search for the community doesn’t seem that bad? It’s almost exactly like searching for a subreddit to join.
/r/subreddit turns into !community@address, like !gaming@beehaw.org
And once you are on that community you can open the sidebar and subscribe (join in Reddit terms).
Well, my understanding is your user exists on whatever instance you signed up on. You could technically create users on every single instance, but that is not necessary. You only need one user to exist somewhere, and then you can subscribe to, and post to communities on other instances.
For example: from lemmy.ml, if you search for [!gaming@beehaw.org](/c/gaming@beehaw.org) you can then open the sidebar and subscribe to, and post to, the gaming community on beehaw.org with your lemmy.ml user.
!gaming@beehaw.org is not the same community as !gaming@lemmy.ml
I think this is related to my initial signup getting denied and no email notifications being sent out in that scenario. There is a post on beehaw looking for devs to have a look at the code to figure out the issue, but based on what I read in GitHub, it sounds like if an admin denies a signup, the email doesn’t get sent, and then the user is in a weird locked state where they can’t signup again, and the admins can’t modify the user.
