Tried registering with lemmy.ml but it seemed the weight and burden of my user was too much to deal with. Registration denied with no justification so it seems this instance is not welcoming new users.

Successfully registered with Lemmy.zip instead and they seem welcoming of Lemm.ee refugees.

Justification was given: you have to actually answer the sign-up questions.

Thank you for confirming. As a new instance applicant, no information was provided on the rejection reason and was left with uncertainty.

Apologies for not fulfilling the requests. From my perspective, I'm on lemmy to avoid a corporate environment. However, the requests seemed a bit too corporate, akin to a cover letter to a job application (why I'd like to join the instance and which communities I'll participate in). Also don't feel like sharing personal information about my username.

If the intention is to weed out problem users there's a way of checking a user's post and comment's history.

None of this matters, you're free to accept and deny at will and I simply fedback my experience.

Information has been provided since 2022, though you perhaps didn’t notice it or are using a Lemmy client that doesn’t display it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2191

I signed up on the browser. The error message I see is below which is scarce on details. ¯\(ツ)/¯

And thanks for taking time to reply, appreciate it.

Interesting! This may be a regression bug.

Edit to add: I just tested it myself, and can confirm that the problem exists in the 0.19.12-beta version that lemmy.ml is currently running. Thanks for your help.

Happy to have contributed with some value out of my application and exchanges!
