I've even run the federation tester and it says success... i don't know if the server is unable to create accounts, or something else.

Without any logs or pastes of the HTTP request/responses being performed, it's hard to provide any feedback or help.

I suspect "malformed JSON" means that you're actually receiving HTML instead, which is usually caused by a reverse proxy sitting between the client and the server.

I just created a user, using the latest master revision, using sqlite3 and no docker, using go 1.15 with Element Web and it worked just fine. So this works in principle, and without more specific logs, I guess nothing can be done about this.
