Hello, i just joined today, and I cant seem to post in my art community which i just started. When i hit the 'create' button i get the spinning thingy and the page just hangs there endlessly.

Is there some type of cooldown period for new users before they can post or something?

I don't think there is any cool down period, same thing happened when I tried to sign up on the lemmy programmers community earlier today. The thing is federation is far more complicated when you try to implement in code than what it appears. On top of that, when you try to impose generic standards to also accommodate Mastodon in the same network, the complexity goes up even several notches! It might take a while for all the bugs to get fixed and fediverse to become stable.

Thanks for the reply, i was assuming it was a network issue of some kind myself, perhaps an influx of reddit users or something, but this makes more sense, i guess i will keep trying.

I was dealing with the same thing. Glad to know it's normal.
