Interesting that they mentioned Beehaw, but not Lemmy or Kbin as a whole.
I think Beehaw is a great instance who shows what the Fediverse can be and is about.
I love that they actually shout out 1 of the instances instead of Lemmy or Kbin as a whole.
but can you actually register to beehaw? Because I tried days ago, and I still can't log in.
to put it mildly, the email situation behind the scenes is a fiasco right now that we're trying to resolve asap. if you registered a few days ago you're almost certainly in queue and if we had our way you might have a judgement by now, but our email providers kind of threw us a curveball yesterday that means we literally can't send out the emails that'd notify you if we approved or denied you. it's very dumb. we're very tired of it, lol
I registered and got through yes.
I registered just before the influx of users from reddit I assume and I am gonna be honest I didn't put in a full essae.
Nobody needs to write an essay; I wrote two (maybe three?) sentences in mine. You just need to actually be interested in beehaw for what makes it different from other instances and express that. My application wasn't really any longer than this paragraph
Registration happens to be behind right now, mainly for technical reasons as alyaza mentioned, but the admin team is working diligently on it (♥)
You haven't written an essay good enough.
I wrote two phrases. Nobody needs to write an essay, they're just backlogged.
Also don't write anything offensive. I've heard they've gotten some pretty crazy submissions. If you drop any slurs in your application you probably won't make the cut.
ah, shit - should've used chatgpt.
