[SOLVED] - Lemmy doesn’t notify you if the username is taken and just hangs indefinitely if it is taken. Just an fyi to anybody else who’s having issues signing up for a Lemmy instance.

Title says it all. I’ve tried multiple browsers, restarting, flushing dns and everything else I can think to troubleshoot this on my end. Whenever I try to sign up it just hangs infinitely on the page that I took a screenshot of, with the submit button spinning.

How can I join this side of lemmy? Lemmy.world is pretty good but I would like to be in an instance that is defederated from lemmygrad please lol

    That’s not me O_o

    I guess somebody already took Dee on beehaw, I’ll try again with another username but I didn’t get any error that the username was taken already. Thank you for linking that, maybe it was that simple haha

        It seems to have gone through now 🤦‍♀️

        That’s a little frustrating (not your fault or any of the mods) I would really like to have that added to the roadmap for Lemmy in the future. The fun of alpha software lol

        Thank you for taking the time to comment and help clear this up though. Is there an FAQ I missed that says there’s no error for taken usernames?
