Not able to register an account

[bodems]

I am not able to register an account, neither on fediverse.blog nor on cafe.sunbeam.city. I type in my registration data in Firefox, click "create your account", it loads something and the page looks exactly like before I clicked the create button. I also tried this with a freshly new installed Chromium with no additional plugins. Any idea about this?
Edit: Of course I am not receiving any registration mail.

• Plume version: At least 0.3.0 and 0.2.0
• Operating system: OpenBSD 6.5, FreeBSD 12
• Web Browser: Firefox 66.0.2, Chromium 73

Plume does not currently send any confirmation emails yet. The account is created without any confirmation.

You simply register and then try to log in with the details that you registered, once the page is reloaded.

So you can't see if the registration was successful or not? I am also not able to login, it says "Invalid username, or password". When I try the password reset I am not receiving any mail.

You should still be redirected to the login page after registraation. There's just no confirmation email.
The bug you describe is present on fediverse.blog at the moment, you're right.

I tested plume.nixnet.xyz, where the registration works just fine. So it seems to be a case of a temporary misconfiguration of the affected instances.

It is because of a federation bug with plume.mastodon.host… It happens regularly. The issue should be fixed on fediverse.blog now. Sorry.

I will try to submit a fix…

Many thanks!

this sounds like a privacy concern that should be fixed ASAP.

Can confirm this is no longer an issue on fediverse.blog

The federation issue was fixed on plume.mastodon.host's side. But it would still be good to fix the actual issue which is: Users coming from federation may have empty ap_url/inbox_url/outbox_url/followers_endpoint, which will make any new account violate the UNIQUE constraint on these fields (since for a very short time, these accounts have empty string values for these fields too).
