About two days ago we found a bug with the registration system on lemmy. Because of this we have updated our registration process a few times, and cannot deny any applications as the person registering does not receive any message and cannot re-apply.

We currently have several hundred people that we are waiting to deny, and some unknown amount of people that we denied prior to finding this issue which we would really like to contact and give them a chance to register as they didn't write enough in their registration for us to really evaluate if they were a good fit for this instance.

If you're a developer please take a look at this github issue and please work your magic to help fix this problem.

As an aside, we also have a list we've been working on for enhancements that would make moderating and administering this instance a lot easier, and enhancements we think users would enjoy in terms of UI and UX. We'd love to share these as well as facilitate a discussion to surface more ideas (and we plan to in the future), but right now we need to focus on the most pressing issue to us running this website, whether people can create an account here and participate.

Bit of a tangent here, but if you’re ever looking for experience designers to help out here and there, or to just give something a second set of eyes, I might be able to lend a hand or connect y’all with some bright and chill people.

You probably don’t want me making any PRs, but I know my way around Figma and a user test plan.

I'd love to see you redesign some parts of the Lemmy UI!

In my option, a lot of designing work is still to be done so I'd love to see mockups you can make and your thoughts on design work!

Nice! I’m pretty new, so let me get a little bit more familiar with the platform, and I’ll craft up some stuff!

Is there a way to follow you here? I'd like to see that. I'm working on being a designer and I'd like to see what others are coming up with.

It doesn’t look like that quite exists yet

[–] Themightypooper@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's a shame. But I'm sure it must be pretty close on the roadmap. It's a pretty essential feature.
