About two days ago we found a bug with the registration system on lemmy. Because of this we have updated our registration process a few times, and cannot deny any applications as the person registering does not receive any message and cannot re-apply.

We currently have several hundred people that we are waiting to deny, and some unknown amount of people that we denied prior to finding this issue which we would really like to contact and give them a chance to register as they didn’t write enough in their registration for us to really evaluate if they were a good fit for this instance.

If you’re a developer please take a look at this github issue and please work your magic to help fix this problem.

As an aside, we also have a list we’ve been working on for enhancements that would make moderating and administering this instance a lot easier, and enhancements we think users would enjoy in terms of UI and UX. We’d love to share these as well as facilitate a discussion to surface more ideas (and we plan to in the future), but right now we need to focus on the most pressing issue to us running this website, whether people can create an account here and participate.

    Thank you for sharing! I will try it when i am on desktop.

    I actually used your code as base to start to fix some things that bug me the most… all spacing/positioning the colors are a total mess. So i am interested to see what yours is like. I can tell from looking that yours is more efficient because i do not know what im doing so it is trial and error.

    Do you think there is a better place than wherever we are to post? A repo or other code sharing? I think the stylus extension connects to some sort of website but i never investigated it.

      Hey so I setup a repo; swap to the default green litely theme, and then test a few of these out, I think they turned out quite well!

      Please feel free to submit pull requests if you have other colors or ideas you think would look nice. The more the merrier!

        I have had hardly any time at the desktop this week! I tried your code and I like it because it generally looks good. I like mine because it uses the full use of space and has strong delineations. I’d like to combine them when I can. Dial down the hideous by about 50%.

        Here is my code https://gist.github.com/btyaa/36a1743e7a0ae95b5aa8178722650b9e

        I hope I am not disparaging you by giving you credit. I can remove it if you want. I do not feel this deserves to be in a repo at the moment. It is hideous at the front and the back.

        The Stylus extension exported it with this @-moz-document and tbh I do not exactly know what that is; it isn’t how it shows up when I edit it. I didnt look into it.

        Also I apologize for my various bad css habits such as preceding lines with x or other letters to comment them out instead of using comments. And I use border, outlines, backgrounds to help me locate things. Forgive me I learned CSS before web developer tools, before firebug, and only had intermittent practice since that time. I always fallback to my old ways. Only roughly grok CSS3. Usually I hide these but sometimes i miss. If I would properly share, I’d run a script to remove all the junk.

        But if it works easily in your userstyle extension you should try it out. It might hurt your eyes. I make effort to describe what I am doing in comments, because otherwise I get even more lost, but the way it exported isn’t great.

        Oh also it hides some stuff I am not interested in. So, uh, careful.

      I was thinking of creating a Github repo for it, maybe make a few different theme variants as well for people that’d want different than the standard two colors etc. Might take a crack at it, will let you know.
