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.

that unwilling to put in even the most basic effort, I don’t want them here.

That's the sort of gatekeeping that keeps a service as a tiny niche forever.

I would think that my comment makes it obvious, but I'm okay with that. Lemmy is working fine. Piefed and mbin interact with it seamlessly in most cases. Mastodon links up okay.

Niche is working. Not everything has to be market dominating

It's fine for memes, news, and politics...but it's still pretty lacking in a lot of the smaller and more unique content that made reddit worth visiting regularly.

As much as you're okay with it, there's plenty of people who would like to see federated services grow enough to be established mainstream alternatives. How much complaining has there been that Bluesky took off as as the trendy twitter alternative instead of Mastadon?

I don't understand the downvotes you got. The same people will complain when a profit driven reddit alternative springs up to take the mainstream while Lemmy remains niche because they wanted a kind of exclusive club. Being unfriendly to the user is a recipe for failure.

On the flip side, the biggest forum on the internet being shared, distributed and owned by its' users would be an incredible win.

I appreciate you.
