Another added they received a different error message when attempting to sign into Truth Social �I got that it was a page for telephone verification (and) I had to delete the app and try again later.

In a word, people are confused. It keeps saying I missed a step, writes one. What step? Another adds, Ive looked everywhere and dont see what Ive missed.

Their advice is to try switching if youre using Yahoo. Another followed their advice and reported back it worked for me just now. They are, however, on a massive waiting list.

One persons assessment is simply that Truth Social is overwhelmed right now  I finally got my email confirmation signed up but it wont accept my username and password.

Another, who appears to have had a degree of success in signing up to Truth Social, nevertheless claims the sign-up software seems buggy.

First is an email verification stage, then a phone number verification stage, and only then can you pick a username  as far as I can tell.

Sometimes, though, several times for me, it jumped ahead and let me pick a username that wont work.

Only 500 users have been granted access to Truth Social so far…

According to Deasilex, only 500 users are currently able to access Truth Social. Meanwhile, the social media platforms waitlist appears to be comfortably into six digits. However, whether this reflects the actual number of people attempting to gain access is not verifiable at this time.

The rest will be allowed after some time, continues the outlet. When, exactly? Possibly not until March.

CNN Business reported on 17 February that Trump Media & Technology Group chief executive David Nunes had said he expects Truth Social to be fully open to the public by the end of March.

Besides Oops, looks like you missed a step, those hoping to access Truth Social have come up against Something went wrong and Error 1020 messages, as well as long waitlists and requests to donate money to reserve a username.
