I’m trying to make a new account on lemmy.ml because lemmy.zip is now blocked in the uk and i want a new username. Whenever i try to make a new account i get ‘user_already_exists’ even when i use an email address that i haven’t tried before. I also tried the hello@lemmy.zip email but no reply. Who can i contact to get my account?

have u tried registering without an email?

i didn't enter an email and they let me in just fine :)

Thanks. Can you add an email later? For password resets

[-] kuiskaaja@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago

most likely, there's an option for it in the settings

changing display name doesn't work at least for me so i'm not 100% sure if all the settings in the menu are enabled
