I have front end and back end experience but work has me kind of bogged down this week. If nobody has stepped up by Sunday I should be free to start taking a look at it at the very least.

To work on bugs and test do I just need the UI and backend? Does the backend code have a embedded DB for local development? I can code, btw. I can figure rust out, great with JavaScript and JVM languages.
The rust backend, Postgres Db and UI are all available as docker images. The rust “lemmy” repo has a docker compose file (if you are familiar with the concept) allowing you to spin up the whole stack locally pretty easily if you already have docker installed.
I didn’t know it was written in Rust. I looked at it years ago but never went anywhere with it. I bet I’d be much better at it having written Scala for the last six months, never really got into functional programming until now.
Scala and Rust don't have that much in common I think. Rust is closer to C++ than to Scala (unless Scala has changed significantly since I last used it years ago).
To be honest when I say a while ago I mean a really long time ago, I remember hearing about it being popular for its functional programming features but also as a C++ replacement and I’ve not kept up since so it might just be the latter now.

How hard is going from C# to rust? Ngl, I absolutely loath C++ syntax

Yeah I dabbled in rust very very lightly lol But the front end is written in inferno which is very similar to react which I’m very comfortable with. All I can say is don’t fear another language! Or don’t let it be a blocker, it may take some time to figure out but if you keep at it day after day you will be amazed how it will eventually makes sense.
I would love to help. Senior software engineer with a lot to learn 😂
It seems like a lot of developers have responded already but I'm a c# developer with some experience in Rust so I'll see if I can help with any issues that crop up on GitHub.
Ex AWS enterprise architect, for the commercial competitor to ActivityPUB, bunch of massive user base infrastructure if needed.
My dev days are a little while behind me, but I have experience in project management, QA, etc. Happy to help.
A "quick fix" might be to test for a user unapproved status on login and provide it as a status (e.g. 404:application_denied). Then the behaviour can be either release all created but unapproved accounts after 24hrs elapse or perma-"ban" until approved like it is now depending on server preferences.
"Quick fix" as in it's seems quick but will take me a while to implement if I were to try and I won't have time for a few days to get serious and become familiar with the code.

I got my approval email, is the problem limited to denial notification?

It’s possible, once they have a good ecosystem of apps plus a lower priced tier (maybe around at macbook air pricing?) However, I can’t imagining it ever shredding the feeling of dystopian-ness of it
