Both were down for me before, they seem to be up right now but just made this account on Lemmy.blahaj.zone (Henry is the name of my actual blahaj lol). It’s probably because of the traffic influx from reddit refugees from the absolutely disastrous spez ama (where he doubles down on everything and doesn’t apologize at all). Allegedly they’re trying to suppress Lemmy mentions but I guess it’s not working well enough lol
A good problem to have although long term we’re going to have to figure out how to deal with these spikes in traffic.
No, that’s too complicated. We’re talking a signup for a web service, that needs to be very simple.
I’d take just a single page with selection of interests. I think some community/multimedia apps already do something like that. Then maybe another page with stuff like “it’s fine if I need to wait for approval” or “I can provide an email address” or whatever may be…
But definitely needs to be simple.
