We’ve updated the Lemmy software and have enabled Open Registrations. Let us know if there are any bugs. We noticed we get a lot of signups and approve a lot of people, but not a lot of people log in afterwards. Hopefully this will fix that issue, but if we notice too many problems’ manual approvals might come back.
Thankfully this server is too “taboo” to make a million bots for. Plus the lack of downvotes to manipulate what people see.
Here’s hoping. 🤞 We made a snapshot, so if anything super crazy happens, we’ll be able to revert back with little to no issues. I don’t see that needing to happen though, I think even if we do get some problems, Lemmy’s inbuilt tools should be enough for us to handle them.
