I've enabled captcha for the login and I've added email verification. This does mean I had to update each of the current users as verified emails however, as otherwise no one would be able to log in.

I’ve just tried to sign up for an account and it said it has sent a verification email to me but nothing has arrived or in junk. Should this be an instant thing or are you having to manually do this? Cheers!
As an aside, do we have any idea about how expensive it is to host a Lemmy, and therefore what kind of donations are appropriate? I realise that's a difficult question since we're seeing a really massive increase in popularity at the moment, but are we talking a recurring pound-a-month / ten quid a year / @tom will pin a donations thread when the bills are due, or what?
I don't know about anyone else but I'm loving the growth in communities, it's like seeing an old friend when one turns up that you used to love!
Like, oh hey, late stage capitalism got here!
That's amazing!

Iv updated the post with the new developments on this issue
Yeah, I signed up yesterday (hi everyone!), and was very surprised at the lack of email verification for sign-up. Probably worth the owner adding it if they see this thread
Yeah I brought this to his attention in another post. I found out after
Is there anything we can do to help?
