Another Redditor gives up on Lemmy due to signup issues (old.reddit.com)

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.

Does Mbin or Piefed have the same issues? I know you guys prefer Lemmy, but if Lemmy keeps alienating people because signups don't work, then maybe it's time to recommend one of those two instead of bleeding potential newcomers.

Interstellar is only available on Android.

Piefed still doesn't have mobile apps.

I'm not that attached to Lemmy myself, but mobile apps are a deal breaker for a lot of users

I really hope mbin or piefed add support for lemmy's api.

I still haven't tried to use Lemmy in a mobile app, I just use the web interface.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Oh, I didn't consider that one.

I would be interested to see if the Reddit crowd is more receptive to Mbin or PieFed

When i signed up it was a little buggy under safari (captcha mostly) but everything was fine when i switched to firefox. Then i waited about an hour or two for what looks like manual input from an admin and everything was fine.

Good. If you can't overcome the tiniest of technical barriers to use Lemmy, then Lemmy is probably better off without you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Seems like a feature, not a bug if you ask me.

I'll say it again and again, the mistake was decentralizing the front-end as well as the back-end.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Oops, the frontend went down and now all the links are broken.

Most of these people are too stupid or didn't even try. No one cares blud
