Lemmy creates the account before being approved - it is quite silly. If you can give me the username, I can give it a look, we're currently going through all the backlog for people we missed.
Yeah, the issue is people without email but also people with the wrong email. I've caught quite a few typos from our email server not being able to send their approval because the email had a typo. I did send them manually and tell them the error they made.
So, I guess we could just change email but I don't see quite the difference in terms of abuse with regards to change password if I could simply change someone's email and get it anyways.
There is currently no discussion or consideration happening but I'm not sure if that might become an option in Lemmy in the future as it seems a few people want this feature for communities that allow downvotes.
That said, at the moment, downvotes from other instances or the host instance does not appear to Beehaw users so I don't think it actually has a negative effect.
Really? I wonder where it gets that information from... Is it just doing the math for all the posts on someone's account? I'd think not since that'd be pretty slow.. Do you have any idea how?
If people are spreading conspiracy theories or harmful content, we do remove it of course. I think the example of Facebook is exactly where moderation is important. Not where downvotes are important.
Because to put it simply, conspiracy theories and harmful content usually get posted in echo chambers where people will agree anyways so a downvote does nothing to solve the problem imo.
I feel like since this is a FOSS platform, while it might not be as flexible as something standalone, it would be nice to include all the batteries in Lemmy. This is something we can do better than Reddit.
Currently we like general topics to make sure that there's enough conversations being made. If the science community gets pretty big, we'd indeed like to divide it into things that take a lot of space on the community.
I also think that instances that are specialized are pretty cool.
I think you have the "Randomly appear posts at the top" bug that is unfortunately fairly common. I would hope it's fixed in the next update to Lemmy we're doing tomorrow morning.
It should work... I can see that email was in fact sent to your email...
If your password is more than 60 characters long, you need to shorten it.. This could also be some kind of bug.. I'm not sure. We are updating Lemmy tomorrow morning so maybe that'll fix it?
Right, that's what I imagined. If there's anything I can help with or if you just want to vent, feel free to DM at any time on Matrix
Sad to hear that's been happening on Blahaj. Full and unambiguous support from me! 🐝

is that the new karma
It's been approved. Thank you for your patience.
Ah yeah, Lemmy doesn't say when a username is taken..
Was that really the problem all along?
What? You signed in today? https://beehaw.org/u/Dee
I am very confused.
I want to use it but I've not yet paid for it so I've unfortunately not done so yet. I don't currently have a job so it's pretty hard to justify...
I use RSS through Readwise Reader though I've used Newsblur in the past. I really wish Newsblur was redesign to get a more modern interface..
This should probably actually be in https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues since it's related to UI.

I think the one you're looking for is kagi.com!
You can actually do that. In your settings on Lemmy, you can disable "Show scores".
