Wdym by "it hangs".
- i click the link from my email inbox; it open lemmy.ml; and then the spiny circle just keeps spinning with no feedback of anykind. i have to close the browser tab to do anything else.
  
  Try PMing the Lemmy devs or just wait until one of them checks this post. They are the owners of lemmy.ml.
I don’t know what that’s about, but I never gave lemmy.ml my email address because it doesn’t require one, and I would gain nothing by giving it.
- that could explain why the confirmation doesn't work if an email address is not required.
  
  🤷 In any case, unless you want to use the “Send notifications to Email” feature, or you’re worried about losing your password, there’s no reason to give your email.
