My opinion on Beehaw registration process. What do you all think? - Beehaw
There are different opinions on Beehaw’s registration process. I kind of see how
some people would find it dissuasive, specially after most of us are coming from
Reddit. But I still think it’s very practical, at least for the time being. Btw,
this is only my opinion as a new user, I don’t know any of the admins/mods. Link
to my original comment [https://beehaw.org/comment/318907].
I didn’t think it was too bad. Like others I wrote 3 sentences or so basically just answering the questions honestly. I was approved fairly quickly.
The funny thing is I actually got rejected (or put in the limbo) once. After making this account and answering the questions exhaustively, I tried to make another account for foss/programming purposes exclusively (I tend to do that for privacy reasons). The second time my answers were much shorter since I didn't want to take up too much time from the admins , and I guess they weren't too convinced, haha. But no hard feelings, I just hope my username eventually frees up and I can make the account :)
There are also some bugs that may throw you into limbo as well on lemmy. Some of them seem like insanely basic oversights like how if you pick an already taken user name it will just spin indefinitely
Oh yeah, that happened to me too. It won't even tell you the reason why. When I checked, I was actually surprised somebody else had already picked the username I wanted so early lol (Hi @styx
@[email protected], we had the same idea haha)
