Thank you for working to get signups working once more!

Is this the reason why I can‘t subscribe to any of your communities? Says „subscribe pending“

Wanna recruit a helper who promises nothing but benevolent assistance?

FYI looks like registration still doesn't work - send button spinning, no request in ff network monitor. Tried ff & chrome, gmail and proton. I went with a different server eventually, but you might wanna do something in case this is not intentional

Is this why I couldn't sign up for lemmy.world this morning?

FYI 18.0 does not have captcha according to release notes. May want to delay upgrade until 18.1? Or institute a stricter signup like requiring email verification? just wanted to mention it

Damn bots, hope the Lemmy community can figure out a good way to deal with that.

People are setting up instances to serve as bot farms. I think they should add instances to Lemmy through some kind of vetting process, or maybe publish an official blacklist.

A lot of sign-ups are coming from bots on established instances, but the application method of screening is somewhat off-putting. I hope the community can devise a better one to replace it with at some point. I mean it's no skin off my nose since I have three good login instances now, but better to make sign-ups as attractive as possible for actual human beings.

Maybe ask users with no activity or suspected activity to verify again. But how do you do that without email?

I am from Lemmy Canada. I have noticed that when I come to a community hosted on Lemmy World I am often signed out. Do I need to sign up here to participate?
