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.

It seems like a lot of developers have responded already but I'm a c# developer with some experience in Rust so I'll see if I can help with any issues that crop up on GitHub.

Ex AWS enterprise architect, for the commercial competitor to ActivityPUB, bunch of massive user base infrastructure if needed.

My dev days are a little while behind me, but I have experience in project management, QA, etc. Happy to help.

I probably should start learning TypeScript. Foundry VTT and VSCode also use TypeScript. I haven't had motivation professionally. I might need to take it up as a hobby.

I professionally develop in C, C++, C# and Python.

If you code in C# then you'll find it dead easy. Microsoft essentially made it a web version of C# so that their developers could easily switch to web.

Knowing TypeScript is similar to C# is uplifting. Thank you.

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.
