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 can add one to this list. If you have a strong firewall setup that blocks DNS redirection, you may need to turn it off just for the account creation submission. I tried to create an account here several times, and got spun every time. I ended up making an account on .world and therefore know that a successful submission will very briefly show a green “Submitted” flag and redirect to the main landing page. At the end of the submission here, in the background, there is a DNS/CDN packet that gets sent and is not present in the .world instance. If this packet is blocked, you will not be able to submit the application for a new account. (As of 2 days ago, the backlog to process my new account took around 3 days - not a complaint - just an observation for anyone in the process and reading this message)
