MODERATORS
 

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.

you're probably in the queue somewhere, to be honest lol

update: yeah if @reddog@beehaw.org 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! 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. :)

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.

[–] reddog@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Update! It was approved and I'm in. Thanks again!!

I applied for a Beehaw account earlier this week. Am I somewhere in the system?

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.

[–] workinkindofhard@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Same thing happened to me
