So it seems like a pretty good community to replace the need for reddit, but they apparently require an application to join. I'm not sure what the criteria is, but they rejected my request to join without giving a reason.
There seems to be a bug in the application system right now, where the reason for rejection isn't delivered to the applicant. So they may not be at fault here.
Yeah, it ultimately doesn't matter why, I just didn't realize these communities were so closed-off. Makes navigating a post-reddit reality pretty frustrating.
The criteria is that you don't sound like a bot or spammer.
