I might. But registration will probably be kept approval only.
Edit: up at https://digdeeper.love/
Edit 2: or should I just let everyone in, even people I don't know? feels like it might be a disaster (a burning lemmy, perhaps).
What about trying a middle ground for now, where people can freely create accounts, but if they're not approved they have limited capabilities such as daily post/comment limits and no "voting" capability (if Lemmy easily allows doing something like this)?
Such functionality doesn't appear to exist in base Lemmy. There's LemmyAutomod but that doesn't seem to provide it either.
Annoying how no one can figure out per-user permissions in 2026. X posts per unit of time, X images per unit of time, but infinite in the "shitposting" section, etc.
I remember Reddit had a limit for the first few days you were registered for, some communities have blocks by "karma", etc. It can't be that hard to code.
