We recently discovered that the end-user experience around denied applications is a bit confusing and perhaps in need of some work. As best as we can tell, if we deny an application there is no notification nor a reason displayed to the person who's been denied. We don't want this experience happening to anyone we deny (it's not particularly nice to ghost people!) and we expect that many of the denied applications are great people who are just in a hurry and not writing enough for us to assess if they're a fit for our ethos, so we wanted to make this post for anyone who tried to register and is confused about what happened or anyone still yet to register.

When registering, please answer the questions in full as it helps us to understand if you'd be a good fit here. We created a post in lemmy support to get some clarification on this issue, but we're not sure how long it will take to resolve or what changes we may need to do to our process.

Just out of curiosity, are y'all also assuming there's a notification sent out on approvals? Because I definitely waited a bit to see if there was a message indicating if I'd been accepted or not and then just decided to try logging in to see what happened and nothing ever popped up.

I.. did assume that. Oh... That's not good.

~~+1 to not receiving an email on approval. Just waited and tried to login sometime later.~~

edit: I probably did not subit an email address when signing up.
