I’m getting a lot of comments from friends that they can’t make an account. I went to make test accounts on both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world and both are throbbing indefinitely (didn’t see any network traffic either).

    They will do that if the username and/or email address is already taken. I’ve seen it on my own instance. There are possibly other reasons as well.

      If that’s the case and it’s just a bug that there’s not feedback on the sign-up page then that’s cool. Probably need to track an issue for that. But right now the new user is experience is pretty bad for even technically literate people.
