It annoyed the crap out of me trying to sign up to kbin.

The freaking captcha is laggy as hell, and I finally get things confirmed, and I can't log in with the exact copy/pasted info I just used to sign up

Which is off topic, but I needed to vent lol

However, i finally got through, so there's that!

That would be frustrating. I did not have the same experience. It was fairly easy for me.

That said, the admin of this instance and developer of kbin has said that they are doing some stress testing and additional troubleshooting that will impact performance. So I would venture to bet you ran into either part of that testing, or a peak load time.

All that testing needs to be done, but should pass.

Same here. Wasn't working when I tried to sign up a few days ago, but came back today and it let me login no probs. Lots of good stuff here so far too!

Yes, I had troubles too but probably had a lot to do with the influx so I won't hold it against them. I did however land on mastodon because it wasn't experiencing issues which I like a lot. Today has been the first day kbin has been usable for me so we'll see!

I had 0 issues, but I think I was still early enough before the servers imploded. Never heard back from beehaw after a whole week though, fuck them.

With Beehaw manually approving users, they won't keep up with kbin/lemmy. It might be a nice site, but I don't want to write an essay to leave a comment.

On the plus side, you can still subscribe and comment on their communities (as long as your instance isn't defederated like lemmy.world, but that's mostly a short term issue).

I just clicked on one of the federated login options. Works great.
