So I just signed up for Mbin at Fedia.IO, and part of the registration says it will send out an email to complete the registration. Great!

It's been like 10 minutes with nothing in "all mail" and nothing in the trash or spam folders either. Is this something I need to wait a while for, or has something gone wrong, and I should contact their staff somehow?

Can you shoot me an email at [email protected] and I’ll track it down for you? My apologies for the trouble.

I activated your account. I will figure out email when I get back home in about 90 minutes.

Greetings from my new activated account! Still learning how to use this thing, but I'm liking it a lot.

Enjoy Mbin!

Mbin has some rough edges still but I like the interface much better than lemmy (I also run a lemmy instance so feel ok comparing them)

Is registration for fedia.io currently working? I've trying to set up an account for a couple of days. When I fill out the registration page and hit "register" nothing happens.

Based on posts of [email protected] , you are not the only one

A new version of Mbin was released I think yesterday. Maybe it has something to do with the update.

ok - there was a problem with the mbin queues on fedia - I think that may have caused the problem with registrations. Can you give it another shot? Also, if that doesn't work for whatever reason, please shoot me an email to [email protected] so I can debug the issue.

Are you saying each registration is manually approved by that person? And therefore may take some time?

Or are you saying I should contact them and ask them whats wrong?

Idk if admins need to manually approve registration applications for Mbin. Many smaller Lemmy instances are set up that way, so it may also be the case for Mbin.

Regardless, whether the registration is reviewed manually or automatically, the admin is the one who will be able to help you.
