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.

Sounds like the user is having problems with the Voyager app?

In either case, I don't think there's any use for the pointless hostility. If it's an antifascist who just gets frustrated with technology, that doesn't mean they couldn't be valuable members of the community. And it's not immediately obvious, nor easy to explain, to non-technical users why they should be more patient with Lemmy than with any other platform. It's quite common to see people on Lemmy or Mastodon who are active users, and still don't understand that the platform they are on is not run by capitalists/how it is fundamentally different from centralized platforms.

A lot of people get confused by Lemmy when I try to explain it to them. We need a step-by-step tutorial on Reddit.
