![[SOLVED] Still can't sign up for Beehaw 😞🐝](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/8e18b3b1-9efa-4a71-a700-916f499cfaa2.png){kind=link}
[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
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 🤦♀️
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) 😊
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! 😄
It’s been approved. Thank you for your patience.
Thank you very much!
is that the new karma
