They are overloaded, try Lemmy.world

I had to join at lemmy.click

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

I had a similar experience signing up to lemmy.world. I switched to a different password and was able to sign up. However, one of the commenters says that registration at lemmy.ml is closed.

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
