FYI I never got any email and thought I was rejected/pending too. But I signed in the next day and it worked. So it might just be the notifications that aren't going out. Also I only had to write like one sentence.

So that's what happened. Thanks for giving me the push to try.

I wrote two or three sentences I think, got accepted quickly. Maybe they're dealing with an influx of applications.

From what I've heard, there's thousands of applications they are working through so it may take a bit to get caught up.

I'm guessing. I've been waiting 2 days on anything from Beehaw. Meanwhile, signing up on lemmy.world took 10 seconds.

Did you try subscribing instead? Once you sign up for one instance, you don't have to sign up for another. I only signed up for beehaw.

I plan on subbing to the things on beehaw that I like. I just liked the concept of their community so I wanted to sign up there. That didn't work out though.

Gotcha. At least you can still access and comment on other instances.

I wrote three sentences too, got approved within 12 hours. I assume people writing essays are going to take longer since someone has to read it.

I wrote 3 sentences 3 days ago and still can not login. (Beehaw)

I registered at lemmy.ml, on 6/9. Wrote a sentence or 2 per question. Never heard anything back by email but I tried logging in the next day and I was in. Either they aren’t sending emails or something is broken with the mail flow. Either way took me less than 5 minutes to say I wasn’t a complete fuck and was looking to move away from Reddit. Actually this response might be longer than what I wrote to register lol

Lemmy.ca has email optional, so I didn't add one (might later). I answered the questions, tried to log in 15 or 30 minutes later, and here I am. I'd be unsurprised if there are a few people waiting g for their approval notifications who didn't actually provide one.

Also, there was a bug that affected email notifications or something? I remember seeing something like that when I joined last weekend.
