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.

    I imagine the devs and people who have worked on Lemmy and the Fediverse would love nothing else but to have these platforms be the mainstream social networks, but I don’t think it’s all run like a corporation focusing only on growth.

    I think quality over quantity is imperative. Not for nothing we are all fleeing cumbersome and crumbling platforms like Twitter, Facebook and reddit.
