Can't seem to create an account...

First, sorry if this isn't the right place for this.

I've got an account on sh.itjust.works, but I'd like to make one here since most of the communities I'm into are here.

Problem is, once I hit the "Sign Up" button it just spins indefinitely. I let it sit for a while once, no change, then tried to log in, once again nothing.

Is there some missing requirement I'm not meeting or something? Or is this just a result of the exodus of people from Reddit to here? If so that's fine, I'll just wait. But I want to see if this is something on my end or not.

Sorry I know this doesn't answer your question, but just wanted to make sure you know you can sub to communities here from your current account, right?

Yes, I do. But thanks for checking! I'd like to make an account here just because many of the communities I'm into are here.

Not to keep hammering a moot point, but why? Subscribing to remote communities is totally normal. I sub to more communities on lemmy.ml than probably any other single server (though I sub to communities on lots of other instances too), but I wouldn't want my account there because it's overcrowded. It seems that there's little reason to colocate your account with the communities you sub, and very good reason not to keep adding accounts to the biggest servers until they fall over.
