Is there way to help without signing into reddit and granting account access?
Great question and thank you for your interesting in helping. Authentication via Reddit OAuth does not give "access" to the account. Reddit will send only your username and the list of subreddits you have subscribed to. I've set it up this way to help build out the list of subreddits.
In any case, you are right that other authentication methods are needed. I'll change the setup soon to allow "traditional" sign-up, and I can also add other signup methods.
That would be good, a lot of people deleted their reddit accounts because of Spez & Co.
Yeah, totally understandable. I was going to suggest you to create a throwaway account, but then I realized that I am actually considering denying access to newly created accounts precisely to avoid bots and sockpuppets.
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that it's now possible to sign-up to Fediverser with more traditional methods. :)
Cool! Looks like it's returning a 500 error at the moment though.
Sorry! I was overconfident with a change. Please try again.
