I'm still a little sad that both solarpunk and beehaw just straight up didn't respond to my essays back when there weren't that many lemmy instances yet.

I don't remember if I ever got an email either. I just figured out I was approved once I was able to log on.

I also must say I never wrote an essay lol. Just a few words.

Same, and I literally just wrote “I think Beehaw would be a good fit for me”

They denied me when I wrote basically that, and apparently when you are denied that username is then banned.

They had a bug where if you were denied it was supposed to send a notification with a link allowing you to elaborate, but those notices didn't go out. Then, when you've applied but gotten stuck in the unapproved state, your user account exists but is disabled, this you can't make a new account with that same name. Sort of a sucky situation all around.

I'm on both of those and never got an email, I just tried logging in after a while and it worked.
