Hey there, many of you worried after recent registration bot waves on other instances and now after the temp captcha removal for this Lemmy release.
It was fine until now, but it looks like the bored kids with their bots have now found this server. Approval of new signups is now required again. Especially sad as this does not scale well.

    :/ I was worried about the bot wave that would come as Lemmy grew. Sucks and I hope there’s a good resolution on the horizon.

    Let’s hope for a better solution in 0.18.1 soon

    I just got approved and it was fast and easy. Some instances take days. This was seriously no problem. Thank you
