I tried to submit a registration request four days ago. After clicking the submit button, I got a spinning wheel. This went on for several minutes. Thinking it might have been the Safari browser, I tried it again in Chrome and got the same thing. After a couple of days, I tried to log in and also got the spinning wheel. I left that page open for a couple of hours with no response. Is this and issue with running on MacOS? Could the request have gone through and response didn’t get back to me? I can try again on iOS or iPadOS.
I’d love to believe this is overwhelming demand, but it’s not - it happens on small instances with plenty of capacity. there’s some kind of issue here that is really hampering the sign up process and we need to figure it out and fix it.
Correct. It’s a Lemmy-wide issue. Whether the instance is large or small, if it’s on Lemmy it’s getting the spins.
This was not happening before the wave of Reddit users. I never had to deal with it before the Reddit blackout. Hence, my assumption that the issue is the overload.
that’s interesting - I came with the wave and it has been happening since I first set up the instance. I am also seeing it on a local dev system that isn’t even accesssible from the internet - not a UI developer, but will have a crack at trying to figure out what’s going on here. It’s a very frustrating issue.
There are a lot of issues. Like, I’m seeing four identical copies of your reply. I’m pretty sure there aren’t actually four copies in the thread, and they are only on my message screen. Lots of little things like that. I figure they are just growing pains, and I’ll wait them out.
