Feel welcome to use this post for testing purposes, feedback on the instance and to say hi!

Since the playground model wasn’t really that good (it prevents users from making things their home), I’ve decided not to announce this instance to be in playground/testing mode. Instead, i’ll simply try to make it work and hope that it won’t become an administrative nightmare.

However – things are looking quite good so far.

In the background i am currently trying to determine whether the current location is powerful enough midterm, if not, there will be a quick and quiet maintenance to move the thing to a more fitting place (looking at the potential upcoming wave from Reddit). Also there are some smaller things in the background still being worked on, but they shouldn’t affect users.

tl;dr have fun, if everything goes well, this will be a permanent place for people to enjoy – i hope. 🚀

      hi, i think i found the cause, firefox login doesn’t work for me when having a long password (tried 128 chars) as the login button just infinitely loads, but for whatever reason on other browsers (tried brave) i’m able to login fine with the same credentials. When changing my password to a <60 character password i was able to login via firefox.

      I was able to reproduce this both on desktop, and mobile (android), as well as on multiple lemmy instances and not just tchncs

      Firefox from Debian notebook works well. Forget it, Firefox on the iPad is a cludge…

        I got the rotating wheel, when I appended ‘@discuss.tchncs.de’ to the username.(Firefox Debian) Perhaps a hint to ommit the server part when entering the user name could be useful.

          No, still doesn’t work, neither with username nor email.
