@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I have been trying to change my sign up message for the longest time. And it never has. And cant get anyone to comment on it. Why have it there if it wont change.

Now I'm pretty made to know I've been busting my chops on a wall not meant to move. Instead of thinking I was hitting a glitch. Ugh.

Thanks for mentioning this.

shot of the field meant to change the question for signups.

I was only meaning the question "Why do you want to sign up?" which is AFAIK hardcoded.

Is the custom message not working either? 😮😮 That should be working, it's a major bug/glitch if not.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I have been trying to change it for months off and on. To no avail.

I looked for an Issues on github. I didnt see it a while ago, but I do now. I will try there. Maybe even ask MastoHost if it is a server-side problem.

I think the message in that screenshot is only if your server is closed to new signups?

It won't appear if your server is open to signups.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services ooooohhhhhhhh. I was here thinking "sign-ups" meant open sign ups. Thaaaat makes sense. Ok.

Thank you so much for this insight.

And yes, as an admin, I totally want to customize my outgoing message to applicants. That would help me start a conversation with them. Make an outgoing that fits the instance's needs. And lets the applicant know why this is being asked, and what we are looking for.

Despitately, I want all this.

Yeah, "sign-ups" on that particular setting means either instant or moderated signups.

The idea of the message is so you can explain you're not taking new members. Many servers also use this to suggest other servers where people could sign up instead 🙂🙂
