Already signed up. Got the login verification email, followed through and did the security thing, “type the word from our sidebar below” passed all that and can not login.
I appreciate that but don’t bother. I tried with the instance listed in this post and still got the same login issues even after receiving the email to login and passing the security check etc. I deleted the app. I’ve tried enough times and never had any success so I won’t be trying again.
I think they signed up at 50501.chat.
It’s a shame that Lemmy is missing out on new users just due to signup issues.
Came here to say essentially the same thing. It’s not that we don’t want those people here, everyone is welcome, but it’s a community effort.
It is a little disappointing, this person clearly had enough motivation to want to climb out of the walled garden, and this place exists specifically to be a home for such people. But I don’t think we should be too upset or hard on ourselves. It was never going to work out. This person came here with a set of expectations that were never going to be met.
Their first instinct after coming across an issue was to throw the concept of Lemmy into a volcano and take to an external platform to act like we owe them a refund. If that tiny amount of jank is enough to send them into an indignant tailspin, this is definitely not a place where they would thrive.
Maybe they’ll find the resilience to try again later when reddit bans them for even mentioning the word “lemmy”.
