June 17th 2023: Are new signups on lemmy.world bugged out for anyone else?

I was helping someone today try to make an account on lemmy.world, and a bunch of errors are preventing us from making his account and having him join the Lemmy-verse.
Is anyone else having account-creation issues right now?
I made one a few hours ago with no issues
There are 3 issues I know when the wheel keeps spinning. Username already taken Username too long (>20) Password too long.
Update: I've tried, twice, to make a new account ("dragontamerTestTest"), and the new signup button went into "infinite spin" mode. It simply spun seemingly forever (multiple mintues before I gave up).
There's something very wrong going on with signups right now, at least on my end.
Hmm, may have been "dragontamer_TestTest", which would put me at the 20-character limit as discussed by @Rudd above.
