I don’t like reddit. I would like to migrate over to Lemmy. Lemmy is making it exceedingly difficult to do so. I have this account that I’m working from right now from my computer. I cannot add it to the app on the phone. I simply will not go through. After I put in the credentials it stays at the loading phase. I don’t know if there is an error or not because it will not tell me. It will stay in this phase for hours.
I couldn’t even make an account over the phone because it wouldn’t tell me syntax errors when I was trying to make the account. I would hit create account and it would sit there doing nothing as if the page was broken. For instance, it wouldn’t tell me what characters I was allowed to use in the user name, it wouldn’t tell me how many characters and what kinds of characters I needed to use in the password.
I had to build to the account from the PC in order to be told I needed to adjust my user name and password. It took over a month to bother to figure that out.
Even after creating the account and being able to use it from my PC I am still unable to sign into the account or use it from my phone.
How many people want to migrate over to Lemmy but are being denied access due to these technical problems?
How are you trying to create an account? Through the website? What browser are you using, it should show you exactly what is wrong with your username.
The account is created. I used my PC on a firefox browser. The problem is from the app, Lemmur, not a browser. I heard there was another app, Jerboa that might work.
I was originally trying to create the account using a phone on both a chrome and firefox browser. No error messages occurred. It should have returned an error I couldn’t tell you why it didn’t.
I just tried creating an account through the browser, it works fine, says regstration application sent.
I can’t help you with lemmur as I didn’t create it, but I did make !jerboa@lemmy.ml, and everything works there, although you can’t create an account through it yet.
