    We require applications

    Is this functionality built into the Lemmy software?

    Addendum (2024-11-11T00:32Z):

    Ah, yeah, it looks like it is configurable in the admin panel [1].

        Question/Answer: Instance admins can set an arbitrary question which needs to be answered in order to create an account. This is often used to prevent spam bots from signing up. After submitting the form, you will need to wait for some time until the answer is approved manually before you can login.

      Yeah, it’s just something like “Tell us why you want to join this instance”. If the answer is “to promote my content” or “qq”, for example, they don’t get approved.

      It’s done by the Lemmy software.
