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
Ah yeah, Lemmy doesn't say when a username is taken..
Was that really the problem all along?
It seems to have gone through now π€¦ββοΈ
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?
According to their Github issue tracker, they're aware and are working to fix it (based on the pull request)!
The lemmy software is still a bit rough. It can only get better though, we all just need a little patience (or to contribute if we're able) π
As far as I know, I don't believe there's an FAQ that explains these issues. I could be wrong though!
Thank you for the additional info from the links! But yeah, definitely some kinks in the software but I'm really enjoying it and the community that's gathered here. I'll definitely be contributing more soon! π
It's been approved. Thank you for your patience.
Iβm having a similar problem. Submitted to join ~1.5 days ago and see that the account is created (same username as this account). But when I try to login it just spins forever.
note: Pretty sure that the account had not been created when I submitted to join. I checked the user page and the user age matched the date/time of when I tried to create an account.
Could be you havenβt been approved yet. If you have it could be you need to wait for it to let you log in. Took me a day of waiting. Once it works it works.
I know someone who is experiencing this as well. I don't have an answer, but this may be an issue that affects multiple users
Test out if the username exists by typing in the url to the profile.
Also if you sign up the profile will exist before you are approved and can log in. And if you are rejected the user will forever be taken and not usable.
Dang, we really need a better looking 404 page. And to not allow that sort of username enumeration.
I've tried several times to create an account. Username meldroc.
When I fill out the form and click to submit, it gives me an eternal spinny, no feedback on whether anything's happening or if it's just stuck.
Try to login, only a spinny.
What am I doing wrong?
I just tried creating an account again, username meldroc42. Currently got the spinny...
I'd try another username, idk if this is you but it looks like that one already exists. That's what was happening with me anyway.
Having the same issue, the user account appears to exist, but i made an account elsewhere.
