Can't sign up, get no email for verification

So I can't sign up. I put in my details username, password, email. But then nothing happens, I'm not sure what's wrong but it's kind of annoying to not be able to sign up on this instance.

I don't get a verification email or anything.

I am having the same issue, getting email_not_verified.

Signed up yesterday, so it's been over 24 hours. Checked my spam folder and there is nothing there from Lemmy.

The only way I am able to login is by using the password reset link, but if I open a new tab I am logged out and I cannot use 3rd party apps.
- I tried again today and it worked, guess the email verification service was a bit slow 🤷
Make sure that your username doesn‘t already exist on your chosen instance afaik that would cause an infinite spin on signup.
- It doesn't exist afaik
  
  Hm ok, sorry then I’m not sure why Signups fail. Do you get a spinning button or does it redirect you to the frontpage?
Check your spam folder. Also, lemmy.world is growing rapidly and you may notice server slow downs, etc. as the instance is trying to handle the influx of users. Please be patient, it will come through. :)

Check your spam folder. Gmail in particular is bad about that.
- Nothing in there :(
  
  Well shit.
