There could be several reasons why you are being told to try again later to join a shared library, depending on the specific platform or service you are using. Here are some possible explanations:

  1. Server issues: The platform or service hosting the shared library may be experiencing server issues or maintenance, causing it to be temporarily unavailable or unstable. In this case, you may need to wait until the issues are resolved before trying to join the shared library again.
  2. Network connectivity issues: Your network connectivity may be poor or unstable, preventing you from accessing the shared library. You can try troubleshooting your network connection or switching to a different network to see if that resolves the issue.
  3. Permissions issues: The owner of the shared library may have set restrictions or permissions that prevent you from joining or accessing the library. You should check with the owner to make sure you have the necessary permissions to join the library.
  4. Maximum number of users reached: The shared library may have a maximum number of users that can join at one time, and that limit may have already been reached. You can check with the owner or administrator of the library to see if this is the case.
  5. Incorrect login credentials: You may be entering incorrect login credentials, preventing you from accessing the shared library. Make sure you are entering the correct username and password or using the correct authentication method.

If none of these solutions work, you may need to contact the platform or service's support team for further assistance.
