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.
Oh my goodness! Please, please, please look after yourself and your health and wellbeing first and foremost!
It sounds like we’re a lot alike, and I burned myself out overextending myself, like you’re doing, trying to help others so much for so long…my health issues got worse and now I can’t help anyone because I can barely even take care of myself! and it’s an awful feeling when previously helping others was my whole thing and reason for living.
This may be unsolicited and TMI, but just wanted to caution you about what could happen. Look after yourself, please! You deserve it! Remember that you can’t help and look after others if you don’t help and look after yourself. Thank you for everything you’ve done and are doing already. Hang in there. <3
I greatly appreciate the feedback and I have taken a few steps back this week to ensure I’m not overextending myself. Thank you for looking out for me 🥰💜
That’s great to hear – and well said @Zoop@beehaw.org. Burnout’s a huge risk in situations like this, so very glad you’re taking care of yourself.
