I think I got to the root of what was causing this. If anyone is still having issues signing up, please comment here.
👍 I’ll pass it along to some posts that had this trouble.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Heads up that I just got a support message from the email provider I use saying that it has been suspended for suspected spamming.
This happened several months ago, and I added stronger IP-based rate limits which apparently fixed it. Probably spammers or people doing a DDoS-type attack (spamming signup requests for emails in big public email lists) for whatever reason. I’ve added more guards, which will hopefully fix it, but it may be a few days before they allow sending signup emails again 🫠 So we may get a bunch of posts on Reddit and Lemmy about not being able to sign up - just letting y’all know
Oooooh, unfortunate. Yeah I’ll keep an ear out and just let people know to try again in a few days.
