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.

      The instance admin is literally in this thread acknowledging that their mail server is having issues. Doesn’t matter how much effort the users put in if the verification email never goes through.

      Seeing that someone is having trouble signing up, and jumping to the conclusion that it’s the user’s fault, might not even be elitist, just dumb.

      This was more celebrating that a problematic email server was preventing nee users from signing up.

      Assuming it’s because the user is stupid, that’s the elitist part.

        Dunno about the person I was replying to, but I was assuming they were lazy. And potentially stupid, but mostly the laziness was the critique.

        “Oh no, I clicked the button and it didn’t do what I thought it would. Oh well, I give up! My time is too precious to try any sort of critical thinking. I’ll just post on reddit instead. Updoots to the left, thanks for the gold kind stranger. Dopamine boost achieved.”

        I tried to make a sh.itjust.works account earlier today as a backup, when I verified the email I couldn’t login, it told me my details were incorrect, the details I’d just saved in my browser from the account creation process. Shit does not just work.

        I mean I’ll get around to making another account on another instance, but sh.itjust.works has account creation issues. The people acting elitist about it are fucken gronks because they haven’t actually experienced the issue.
