The registration process doesn't validate (bad)email addresses resulting in non_recuperable accounts

Can you DM me the account name you're having problems with?

My concern is more with the involuntary trashing of the namespace : an account registration should be dropped if not validated after a certain amount of time.

Yes that's a good idea, could you raise it as enhancement request here: https://github.com/LemmyNet

Please, can someone (lemmyist) with an account on GitHub do this ... as I have no knowledge about it ๐Ÿ™

Maybe the request for improvement (to be raised on GitHub) could be as such :

Lemmy account registration should be dropped if not validated after a certain amount of time. Old databases should be revised. To be applied only where an email is required for registration.
Edit : Better yet : the registration page should not drop until successful registration

Please be so kind to reply here after you raise it ๐Ÿ‘
