I'm currently struggling to find my home. I have an account here at lemmy.ml, where most of my posts are, and one at kbin.

Why do you think your instance is the place to be?

Seriously, this. I tried for days to register on Lemmy. One day I was mid-registration and the button was just spinning, doing nothing, so I came over to kbin, registered and started using the site. Lemmy never stopped spinning. No thanks.

You all need some longer usernames, sheesh.

I'm self-hosting my own Lemmy server, which I guess is cheating since I can get any name I want to ๐Ÿ˜›

It was doing the same thing for me but I checked my email and there was a verification, once I completed it my registration went through. It didn't actually tell me it was sending an email which is probably a flaw but it seems that's the missing piece.
