I’ve seen similar behavior (fail fast,) when there are outbound networking issues from any of the service containers. In one instance, lemmy backend was not able to make any outbound connections to any external services. It wild fail in milliseconds and show a timeout error in the logs.

One hypothesis here could be there are sporadic network issues on the lemmy.ml servers. 🤷‍♂️

Aww man, no auto-play of gifs? OK…

Will do!

I’m in the process of setting up my own instance for fun, as today was a slow work day.

Makes sense. I wonder how I can reset my password though? The link to reset doesn’t work in any browsers for me. Was my user perhaps banned? Would be [email protected]

Thanks!

I think this is related to my initial signup getting denied and no email notifications being sent out in that scenario. There is a post on beehaw looking for devs to have a look at the code to figure out the issue, but based on what I read in GitHub, it sounds like if an admin denies a signup, the email doesn’t get sent, and then the user is in a weird locked state where they can’t signup again, and the admins can’t modify the user.

tried the big three (browsers), no go.

Yes, I saw the post on that, and given I am a software developer thought maybe I’d take a look, but figured someone else must be looking by now, hopefully.

Yes, but I tried to sign up a few times and let iOS set a “strong password” for me each time so unless there is some way to reset the password…

Yep… login just spins forever. The forgot password link doesn’t do anything.

Man… I really wish my signup on beehaw.org would get approved. I wonder if it has something to do with emails not going out?

Yeah, I saw that too, but other places I signed up still haven’t approved me, so I signed up here.

Yep. I couldn’t survive without /r/ff

Time will tell. Given Reddit’s behavior recently, alternatives like lemmy are bound to see a spike in users. Just keep in mind that more users doesn’t necessarily mean good content.

I haven’t heard anything either. They are probably slammed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can still subscribe to and post to their communities from here. You don’t actually need a user on beehaw.org

Open the hamburger menu, then click the search icon and put !gaming@beehaw.org in the search box and click search. You’ll then be able to look at that community from lemmy.ml, and in the sidebar you can subscribe. You can also up and downvote, comment, etc.

Replace gaming with whatever community you are trying to join. Also beehaw.org is just an example. You can “join” any instance that isn’t currently blocked by lemmy.ml AFAIK.

I’ve only been here a day or so, but having to search for the community doesn’t seem that bad? It’s almost exactly like searching for a subreddit to join.

/r/subreddit turns into !community@address, like [email protected]

And once you are on that community you can open the sidebar and subscribe (join in Reddit terms).

Well, my understanding is your user exists on whatever instance you signed up on. You could technically create users on every single instance, but that is not necessary. You only need one user to exist somewhere, and then you can subscribe to, and post to communities on other instances.

For example: from lemmy.ml, if you search for !gaming@beehaw.org you can then open the sidebar and subscribe to, and post to, the gaming community on beehaw.org with your lemmy.ml user.

[email protected] is not the same community as [email protected]

Yup. That played a big role for me, too. The other factor was lemmy.ml was the first to approve my signup, finally giving me the ability to post. I’m still looking around to get a feel for other instances, and might even set up my own.

I’d wager a large percentage are bots, too!
