I had a complete mental collapse, as well as some legal troubles that lead me to completely delete all of my Lemmy accounts. I was formerly jawa21, and decided to get an upgrade to jawa22. Like it or not, I am back for good and I am currently working on more edits to post here.

    I tried for a solid 20 minutes to get beyond the captcha. It three an error every time saying it was incorrect, but not a normal "failed " type error. It was completely broken. And yes your instance

      Huh. I do show the HTTP 400 responses in the logs for the registration attempts, but not sure why. Maybe my rate limit got triggered? (it’s set pretty low, but hasn’t changed in over a year and have had successful signups since then). I don’t show that it even created the local user, which means it didn’t even process the request.

      AFAIK, nothing in my infra relies (exclusively) on my assets in the NYC DC that was down.

      FWIW, I just did a test signup, and it worked.

      So only things I can think of is:

      1. It failed to send the verification email (I think Lemmy fails if it’s configured to send an email for a specific operation and the email server doesn’t respond).
      2. Rate limit (which you’d think would have been HTTP 429 from the API, but wouldn’t be the first HTTP standard the lemmy devs didn’t adhere to).

      Either way, I’ll keep an eye on it (thanks for letting me know), and again, welcome back.
