There seems to be an issue with the signup process on lemmy.ca. I've been trying to signup for a while today but the Sign Up button just keeps spinning when I click it. I've tried numerous things to try to fix it and nothing seems to work. Signed up on a different server so I could report the issue.
hmmm, that's really weird. i've had a bunch of signups today already, and had one just a few minutes ago? i'll test it out and check the logs to see if i can find anything.
i think i heard some other users have issues and i think they maybe tried with a different browser and it worked? or maybe it's an extension or something causing issues? as long as javascript/websockets is enabled there should be an issue?
actually, come to think of it, i thought i read about an issue where it wasn't giving a proper error if something went wrong, like a duplicate username or something. if you let me know the username you were trying i can see if it exists already or not?
Ah, it seems as though my issue is indeed an existing username and a lack of error message.
looks like there's already some issues in the issue tracker too:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2955

I had a similar issue, turns out the username I'd chosen was too long. After I shortened the name it went through.
Of course if your username was
gregthat's not it, but leaving this for anyone else who may find it.edit: in hindsigh might have been a taken username.
