      Just our instance, or all of it?

      Images are heavier, unfortunately, so it wouldn’t surprise me.

        I’m on a smaller one and it seems to be absolutely groaning under the weight. I’m gonna try again in a few weeks after things have stabilized.

        Just our instance. I signed up today and the instance keeps on going to a 504 Gateway Timeout. The main instance (pixelfed.social) works fine. I might switch.

      I tried months ago and it’s been doing the same thing

    Ohh same! I asked in IRC and was asked to email in, which I’ve already done. I’m waiting for an admin at this point.

      I was able to confirm that sdf’s pixelfed will send and confirm emails, by using a different email provider other than Gmail.

    It was working for me about 10 minutes ago. Uploaded an image and saved an avatar. (I’d already made an account maybe a year ago.)

    But now: 504 Gateway Time-out :(

    Happening to me too. I don’t see an email anywhere

      My Gmail account will absolutely not show me any emails from sdf pixelfed, so I just changed my pixelfed email to my phone number @ my carriers email/sms bridge domain, and that let me confirm my account.

    I hadn’t seen that there was an instance now so this inspired me to go check it out, thanks! I thought I had the same issue, but it turns out that the email was just getting tagged as spam seemingly because of no SPF, so DMARC fail.

      In Gmail? I looked all over my spam, couldn’t find it anywhere :/

        Gsuite, but I presume regular gmail would have the same behavior. If it helps, mine was from pixelfed@pixelfed.sdf.org with the subject: “Confirm Email”

    I ended up using 10 minute mail and that worked for me.

      I used my phone carrier email, but I haven’t actually used pixelfed since verifying. Not sure if there’s anything there for me.

      I like the tidy forum format and experience that Reddit/lemmy brings. My brain has never been able to make sense of how to benefit from twitter, mastodon, Instagram, tiktok, etc.

        Pixelfed will only be good for me if I convince my friends to use it.

        Twitter tho has never made sense to me. Always seemed so eh

          I made a twitter account last week for a business and it will not show me anything except Elon and Trump stuff even though I keep clicking see less/mute/block etc. It’s truly insane over there now, even besides just the way it works.
