Already signed up. Got the login verification email, followed through and did the security thing, “type the word from our sidebar below” passed all that and can not login.

I appreciate that but don’t bother. I tried with the instance listed in this post and still got the same login issues even after receiving the email to login and passing the security check etc. I deleted the app. I’ve tried enough times and never had any success so I won’t be trying again.

I think they signed up at 50501.chat.

It’s a shame that Lemmy is missing out on new users just due to signup issues.

    I have many people in my disability support groups I recommended lemmy too and they were unable to use it.

    (Our disability comes with severe cognitive problems and reduced energy, and trying to sign up was too much)

      Well, ngl, my disability/chronic pain support group doesn’t run high to cognitive troubles. There’s some, but it isn’t a majority.

      That being said, the only questions I’ve had are where about which version of a community to use. Like how there’s a handful of C/s for a topic, which ones are worth using. Even the MS folks with significant brain fog haven’t expressed any issues getting started.

      But it may be a thing where some cognitive issues are more likely to have trouble with the signup process than others, I dunno.

        Our disease has quite a bit less functioning than MS as measured on bell spectrum.

        And one of the main symptoms are cognitive processing issues. It’s to the point where some more severe folk can struggle putting sentences together.

          Would you believe I just now noticed your user name?

          Makes total sense now. I’ve known a few people dealing with it, and yeah, it would definitely be an impediment to run into delays and hassles signing up for anything. Hell, breathing can be a barrier with ME/CFS.

            Wow, rare to run into someone ME aware in the wild. Thanks for understanding ❤️
