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.

    I applied, but not sure it went through, never got beyond the spinny-submit-button. Happened a few times then found another instance :)

    *edit- But I did like that they were screening applicants.

        update: yeah if @[email protected] is you then your account exists; we’ll get to it when we sort out the email situation which hopefully will be tomorrow because i’m tired of not being able to approve people lol

          Awesome! I applied for beehaw the first day of the blackout. It lets me do a forgot password and I get the email so I imagine I’m in the system but not finalized yet.

          Awesome! Yeah, it’s me there too. Thanks for the feedback and know that it’s appreciated. No rush on my behalf – I’m still figuring all this out and do have other fedi-accounts to feed the fix, so to speak. :)

        I also got stuck on the spinning submit button which just kept spinning. After several minutes I closed the window. Will try again at some point.

          In my experience, if you reload the page and copy-paste all the details quickly, it will let you through.

      I had issues registering the first time (spinny-submit-button), I simply tried later and had no problem and was approved in less than an hour.

        just checked and you are also in the queue (account exists, just waiting) so yeah eventually we’ll get to you also
