Trying to register on another instance. Spinner runs infinitely

Filled out the reg. form, filled out the CAPTCHA, and hit the “sign up” button which then turns into a spinner. The spinner never stops. Confirmation email never arrives.

Lemmy devs: please give output rather than just spinners. We have no way to know what is going on or how long it takes to process a registration form. We should receive error messages rather than a forever loop.

Might help, but when I first tried signing up a few months back I had the same issue, it was bc the username I wanted was too many characters and a db error was just getting swallowed and no message came back telling me it’s too long.

The reason I even know this is bc I’m slightly insane and decided to spin up my own lemmy instance just so I could debug it. I never submitted an issue on GitHub for it, because on top of being insane, I’m also incredibly lazy

diyrebel OP ,

wow… that is terrible. You should not have had to go on a dig for such a simple limitation. All this fancy javascript and it failed to do a simple field length check.
