Double-Update: Suddenly it’s working again? I think using Incognito sessions to test might be causing the issue… This time I also used a “plus” email for more uniqueness (while using the same inbox).

EDIT: NOPE! Nvm, it was because email validation was disabled that things were working. As soon as I enabled it again, I got a different error. Which has me suspect that the bug I was experiencing earlier is a result of the following condition.

1. The user creation transaction doesn’t back out on SMTP failure, thereby preventing the creation of the account due to the aforementioned constraint issue.

Ah, sorry, yes, context:

The bug I think I’m impacted by - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2955

The error I’m getting:

panicked at ‘couldnt create local user: DatabaseError(UniqueViolation, “duplicate key value violates unique constraint "local_user_email_key"”)’, crates/db_schema/src/impls/local_user.rs:157:8

The user_email value is indeed different, ( I have a handful that I’m using to test) and this occurs no matter what I try. Even disabling email verification didn’t seem to help.

I’m using the official docker instructions, and everything else appears to function perfectly - and my initially created user has no problem interacting with with the app. Heck, I’m using my instance to communicate with y’all.
