Trying to register via the register panel gets following errors:

I also get "GET https://x.x.x/api/user 401 (Unauthorized)" when loading the site

temp fix: turned invites on and then it worked (shouldn't be like that)

[diced]

commit above should resolve this issue that was caused by an oversight :)

I'm getting the same message but the server does return 400, no matter what I enter for the username I get "A user with that username already exists". I'm using it locally, no cloudflare.

Using an invite link doesn't trigger this, I can register with invite, without it I get the error.
I have these:

FEATURES_INVITES=true
FEATURES_USER_REGISTRATION=true
