They are overloaded, try Lemmy.world

I had to join at lemmy.click

Both .nl and .world were not working for me.

I think lemmy.ml is just receiving a huge amount of traffic all of a sudden. Even just a couple percent of all redditors suddenly making an account on Lemmy servers will give their comparatively smaller servers the beating of a lifetime.

Not sure if this was a problem but when trying to register to certain instances on my phone (Chrome iOS) the ball would spin forever. When doing it on my desktop it was no problem.

Have you checked if a user with the same name already exists? Currently it is bugged and doesn’t show an error message.

What is wrong with yer current instance? There is no real detriment to not being on Lemmy.ml if ye are are already on another instance
