Honestly, I'm kind of hating it... everything feels like it is in the wrong place, everything has just enough friction in interacting with Lemmy to irritate me as I try and get realigned, and nothing feels like it is at my fingertips. The signup process alone was adamant that it was incredibly straightforward and that instances don't matter... but is also very variable based on the instance you choose... I had to wait until morning because my instance's email verification didn't work and had to be done manually. Then when I look to turn on 2FA, it just doesn't work at all, very unappealing.

Maybe once Boost for Lemmy is out, that will have some quality of life, but currently I am not actively liking anything about Lemmy at all, beside just the basic principle of it.

Same issue with lemmy.world and not getting my email verification. I tried going into the store via pc but couldn't find a way to resend the email. How'd you solve it? I just had to make a new account with another email

I had to email the admin from the address I used and they manually verified it. We're truly living in the world of tomorrow.

Lol it's the truth. I feel like a boomer now... What was the admins email? Or was it not lemmy.World?

Different instance, a newer one that was having issues with their domain's verification link getting blocked.
