I'm wanting to lock down site signups. I need your help on what question to put to applicants that can be used to vet their application.

Why do this? I expect that as lemmy matures and grows, it will gain the attention of trolls etc that we do not want here.

Also with Beehaw defederating some larger instances with open signups, I'd like to avoid the same fate.

Can you request email verification and block the throw-away account providers, e.g. mailinator etc.?

Anything else would require too much of your time manually approving people.

Nothing in Lemmy that I've seen to restrict email signups to specific domains etc. Not sure this is possible.

Also any sort of email validation is prone to issues. Running a mail server these days is just too hard.
