IMO, Lemmy would gain far more users if you were able to create a user account without having to be approved by a server first.

If communities want to remain invite only that’s fine. But I really, really think you guys should decouple account creation from the requirement of being approved by a server. It’s a barrier to entry that imo will prevent many users from registering.

Edit: If not global auto-approving of user account creation, I think what would be a more reasonable request is an indicator of whether a server auto-approves account creation or whether it is invite only.

    Hear me out First you take a decentralized network with individual user accounts Then you take those user accounts and centralize them on one server Which server? THE server. Then you migrate the posts to that server Then you list the server as a company publicly to be traded Then I buy it Then I run it into the ground Sincerely, -Elon <3
