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.

I can't help but think that the web UI should always be the point of entry, and apps should enter the user experience at a later stage.

If not, users won't understand what platform they are actually using, and they will inevitably get confused at some point when something does not work the way it should. Even if the app is perfect now and everything works, an update to Lemmy could still break something.

Then again, I'm a fan of web UIs in general, and I'm terribly old fashioned.
