I've tried creating two accounts with the same issue. One with a Gmail address and one with a Fastmail account. Neither has received a verification email. I've checked the spam folders on both too.

Hello from my new account at sh.itjust.works. I just created this, you can check my profile. I used a temp email: temp-mail[dot]org

After you sign up, you can change the email to some random invalid email so your account is safe from getting hijacked via password reset through email. Changing email doesn't require re-verification as far as I can tell.

Perhaps your IP got flagged for some reason. Are you using a VPN or Tor? Those may trigger some spam filters. Is your network a public one? (Eg: University, Hospital, Workplace, etc.)

That's really weird. I've been staying at a hotel the last few days and maybe the IP is flagged for some reason, like you said. Well, I guess those two handles are just lost then.
