We require an email address and a response to a question on our signups. The response doesn’t need to be more than about 5 words, it’s just to stop bots putting random characters or single words in there.
So far, it has seemed to ride that balance between low bar of entry and too hard to spam with bot applicants.
That said, if I wanted to spam the Fediverse, I’d just spin up my own instance of Lemmy or Mastodon.
You are very helpful and correct - thank you for that. I suspect it was something of a double entendre joke, however.
That’s probably to do with the federation issues that cropped up with the new Lemmy version at Christmas.
I’ve heard reports from our users that liftoff stopped working when we upgraded on Sunday also. It apparently doesn’t work with the new version and they said the dev ran off to start a family.
This is a commonly requested feature, and is likely to appear in a future version of Lemmy. In the interim, several of the mobile apps have this feature.
The idea is they run off USB. Having said that, I’m pretty sure most of us just plug it into mains power.
Yeah, like it or not, Lemmy is not as big as Reddit. One weekend wasn’t long enough.
Then again, no bot armies was nice.
I should probably know this, but why “threadverse” and not “fediverse”? The name Threadverse sounds like a Meta trademark.
