A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I forget my password to my GitHub account, so ill just reply here. I agree - it is a bit hard to know if youve been accepted or not. I just kept trying to log in once or twice over an hour or so, but I doubt thats feasible especially for the cases of people who get denied and dont know why.
I am not quite certain on the structure of a Lemmy server, but I imagine there's a log of users that you can join to a particular db entry for acceptance status and denial message. Given that you host the server that this is on, I imagine you might be able to append some changes to the login page to access these fields.
My thought is that there can be a small text input added to the bottom of the log in page that you can enter in a username, and have it present the necessary data pertaining to acceptance status. Again, not sure how this would work in Lemmy structure land, but in MVC where Im competent, I would have an endpoint that returns data as json, then ping it with an ajax post request. Id imagine something similar could be done here
What about as part of the sign up process you offer browser notifications instead of after the fact? Decoupling is a good thing versus straight up polling.
