Beehaw Support

Thanks for the update and for the work that you do!

I.. did assume that. Oh... That's not good.

Lol, yeah I waited a full 24 hours and was assuming I was denied since I received nothing. I decided to just try logging in this morning to see and lo and behold.

When I applied yesterday, I was pleased (privacy reasons) to see that email address was optional, so I didn't enter it. Later I realized that meant I wouldn't get a notification of acceptance or not. Less than 24 yrs later I was able to log in, so "yay". If I discover a benefit to providing my email, I'll do so, but for now it's nice to have the option to be stand alone.

Same, haha! No notice of approval, but I was able to just log in after a bit. Happy to be here anyway, seems like a really nice place 😊

we have been assuming this but that issue, at least, is less of one because we've never approved a user in less than 24 hours. if someone isn't approved though they'll literally have to infer that, whereas they generally won't need to if we approve them

Same...I also never received an email, but tried to log in after a while and that worked.

Same here, this post is what prompted me to check in the first place.

Wow, so glad I came back to look around. I was wondering if something went wrong with my request since I hadn't heard anything at all. But here I am, logged in. Yay for me. Thank you!

Email would be the obvious way to contact most people and it should be used, but (at least on lemmy.ml) email isn't required to create an account.

For people who were rejected and don't have an email associated, I do think it would be wise to implement some sort of login flow that could lead back to a set of follow up questions and/or a notice of outright rejection.

Same with me. I didn't get anything. Tried logging in after half a day and it worked.

update: we now have a better and much more idea of where the issue is. we ~~primarily~~ 100% think it is an issue affecting Gmail users, which unfortunately is a lot of people. this also means email registration isn't going to be super helpful either way, so we've reversed that and i don't think we'll reinstate it any time in the future. we are now working on what we can do to fix this one, so hopefully this won't be a problem in the days to come.

our exhortation to please please answer the questions in full when you go to register if you are reading this remains in effect, until we can reliably get approvals and denials to people.

update: see here for the resolution as of now

Yes this is referring to the questions asked when signing up. Because we've grown a lot in the last few days we're now being more selective on who we approve to ensure people are in tune with our ethos. This means we revised the questions and are looking more closely at how people are responding.

You are posting from beehaw and this post is about kbin.social, a different server running different (but interoperable) software.

I'm assuming there's a decent amount of trolling where people claim they want to join to be a terrible person lol

I’d be curious to see what kind of applications you get that you turn down (aside of the obvious like when someone just types gjshshshdh in the box)

right now we're not explicitly turning down any but at this point if you mention you're only here to replace reddit or that you were pointed here with no context you almost certainly won't get accepted

we put it out there on lemmy_support over on lemmy.ml and i think our bug report mentions it, but i'm definitely finite in my capacity to spread this around further. just no time between everything else
