Alright nerds, I turned Registration Application on as I’m getting a bit too worried about spam accounts. I hope we can figure and strengthen some solutions before it’s too late.

PS Check: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/163869

This reminds me. I need more admins. Please let me know if you want to help with the site stuff, particularly approving new users and banning spam.

I need active people, not ones for status, and people who enthusiastically agree with the server rules.

EDIT: Admin positions fulfilled. Thanks y’all

    Hey if you still need help I am totally open. I am a reddit mod refugee from some small and larger subreddits. I have been sailing the seas since I was probably around 10 and fully stand with the rules/vision of this instance. I also have a software engineering background and can assist on the technical side of needed. Feel free to reach out to me privately should you desire any kind of verification such as my Github or reddit account. I am using a different username/email from other services.

      Thanks mate, but we’re covered for now. if/when our user count increases sufficiently I’ll open another admin application thread. Cheers

        No problemo, sounds good to me! Let’s hope the system you are developing can help thwart some of the bot/spam issues starting to occur.

    Damn, this application thing seems like its just discouraging people to join. I hope this bot threat ends soon, or else Lemmy will stagnate.

    I don’t know if you still need help but if you still need it, I’d be happy to help. I am new to the fediverse. but really want it to become mainstream.

    Also I have no experience whatsoever moderating but if its just approving real users and check they are not bots I should be able to handle it.

    I deleted all content from my reddit account but if you still want to see it, tell me.

          Ye, unfortunately it’s not very useful ye. If you have any other creds on social media let me know. If not, just stick around in the server and be active and that will speak for itself next time I ask for admins
