This seems to be more a problem with Lemmy as I have experienced it on other instances and probably better suited for the Github issue tracker. But I wanted to make a test post anyway so figure I'd start here and see if anyone else has experienced the problem or can direct me to active discussion already started on it.
Signup almost always hangs and just pinwheels. Tried multiple times today, FF in mobile/desktop. Chrome. Same result. Console just keeps dumping messages like 'CreatePostLike', 'RemovePost', etc., which seem to be global activity being pushed to the client (I haven't dug too deep, but I'm not actively doing anything so I can only assume it is some kind of global push updates). Likely unrelated to the signup hanging, and it happens on all pages; I realize this is all very early release stuff, but seems a bit poor form to just have console.log endlessly dumping on production to me, even in early release.
Also hangs when trying to login and the account isn't activated (attempted when I thought maybe it went through despite the hang). Never received a response such as "invalid account" or "waiting for validation"
Eventually an attempt did go through. But a second attempt has resulted in the same behaviour.
Again probably better for the issue tracker, but curious if anyone else local here has found the same issue with signup/login.
