There are two ways that servers on here can accept new members:
-Sign-ups where you join instantly
-Sign-ups where the server moderator has to manually approve your membership
Approval sign-ups make moderation much more effective, but some people seem to find them more difficult.
If you are someone who finds approval sign-ups more difficult, could you explain the main thing putting you off?
(By the way, this isn't meant to be judgmental, just want to find out what the main barriers are! 🙂

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Feeling like I needed to prove myself to get into a not “bad” situation was a bit difficult (fear of rejection).
An issue that was a big blocker for me was having to wait—not only because of the impatience, but also because I forgot to lookout for the email in my inbox. I believe I missed my approval for months—that’s almost an abandoned account before it was even used.
I really appreciate this idea of a probationary account by @watchfulcitizen@goingdark.social.
