Can’t make an account on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml?
Everytime I try it just spins indefinitely. Any ideas?

    Do you already have an account lemmy.world? I had the same happen when I tried to create 2nd account. It seems to be IP locked to 1 account. Which is fine, but give some sort of error.

    lemmy.ml servers are half dead, so it might be just temporary issues.

    You don’t ahve to be on the biggest instance to iteract with them, look at others https://lemmyverse.net.

      That’s true. I chose lemmy.sdf.org because SDF is a venerable old (1980s) unix organization (movement?).

      The SDF lemmy is still small compared to the big instances, but with SDFs non-partisan history and existing resources, it is still widely federated (ie, with both lemmy.world and beehaw.org)

      Plus, SDF is just cool. I mean… I didn’t really NEED a remote shell from @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org. After all, I use them every day for work and run Linux! But I didn’t realize that I WANTED one until I tried it.

      Very cool. Very #retrocomputing

      @BrikoX okay so I could register an account on another instance. And then still be able to incorporate local and all feeds similarly to lemmy.world but off of Lemmy.whateverinstance? Thanks

        I’m pretty sure that’s correct, now that I poke around at other Lemmy instances. Cheers

        Edit: just made an account on lemmy.one pending approval

        Yes. As long as nobody defederated your instance you will see what they post and it will show up in your All feed.
