https://futurology.today/

The site is for a reddit subreddit ( r/futurology) making its fediverse migration. We're almost ready to launch, but some people seem to have trouble registering & logging in. Obviously we want to understand why before we open it up.

If anyone wants to help and has a few moments it would be great if you could test joining. If successful, leave a post/comment in the site's meta section. If not, could you leave a comment here, with a description of the problem and any error message. The developer has asked if you have problems with the site, could you try logging in a second time here - https://a.futurology.today/ (it will better track error messages).

Sure ill go try. Loved that subreddit

Edit:

Done. I am using sync if that helps. I did have one problem, i overlooked the email requirement to sign up. I havent seen an email requirement yet on an instance. When trying to sign up it would have been helpful to have that omission pointed out. It did nothing at all when first trying to sign up.

Thanks for this, I'm passing it on to the developer. We've been assuming email verification is important to combat bots/trolls. I'll bring up the observation it isn't widely used. It often seems to be something to do with problems we've been having.

Oh glad to help. It is obvious once i reviewed, but the biggest "problem" was no response from the submit button when i didnt put in the email address. For me, and other dumb dumbs, is i wasnt sure if the submit button was doing anytbing or if it was broken.
