Hey there, many of you worried after recent registration bot waves on other instances and now after the temp captcha removal for this Lemmy release.
It was fine until now, but it looks like the bored kids with their bots have now found this server. Approval of new signups is now required again. Especially sad as this does not scale well.

I had some issues with getting in and you got it sorted really quickly. Thank you so much for your dedication to this community!

I just got approved and it was fast and easy. Some instances take days. This was seriously no problem. Thank you

You may not be my home instance but, thank you for all your hard work. I imagine it's tedious to go through all the requests.

Too bad. Are the admin permissions fine grained enough that the approval could be handled by more people?

[–] milan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

no, there only is admin or no admin, sadly, as of now

Let's hope for a better solution in 0.18.1 soon

:/ I was worried about the bot wave that would come as Lemmy grew. Sucks and I hope there's a good resolution on the horizon.
