Support / questions about Lemmy.

Matrix Space: #lemmy-space

I'm new to Lemmy, and found lemmy.ml to be where I want my accounts. I created this one, which got approved very quickly. I then created a second one, because I'd like this one to be more anonymous and the second one to match my username on Twitch (and my real name is easily found there).

The second account seems to have not been approved, I'm not sure how to tell but it's been hours (and this account was approved in minutes). Could have been because I tried to use the same email address, is that supported?

Whatever reason it was, does this mean that username is gone and no longer available? Is there any way for me to try again?

EDIT: Never mind, of course the moment I create this post, I check again and the signup has been approved. I swear I was being patient!

Your concern is valid because there does seem to be an existing bug that if you do get denied, that username is forever blocked: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1096

Glad that wasn't the case here.
