I’m absolutely unable to sign into that instance. Once I click the button it just sits there and swirls forever. I can’t pull any of their communities up in a search from .world either, even if I use the specific name like [email protected]

Or if you are trying to log on using your Lemmy.world creds, it doesn’t work like that.
Yep, that’s what I was trying to do. I figured it out after I threw up my hands and spent a couple of hours digesting how the fediverse works at the technical level. I still think it’s dumb that content and the ability to interact with it is federated but authentication isn’t but that’s just MHO.

If it sits and spins like that when you try to register, it might mean the username you want is already taken, try logging in or a PW reset.
