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.

Okay, I updated my previous comment to "stupid or lazy" instead of just stupid so it more accurately applies your bunk assumption.

Assuming it's worth troubleshooting a broken just to interact with your salty comments calling people lazy because an email server isn't working is shitty and elitist, regardless of whether you want to hear that.

There's a lot of reasons to not use reddit, but the signup process is one of the first interactions users have with a site. Right now, reddit has a smoother experience than lemmy in that specific regard, and it's better to acknowledge than pretend otherwise.
