Thank you! My name was feedthebeest.
For what it's worth, I didn't enter an email when I made my account on Beehaw and I didn't have any issue with getting approved. I've seen the admins saying that there's a pretty heavy backlog of new accounts to approve at the moment so it could be that they just haven't gotten to you yet.
Apparently there's a known bug where if your chosen username is already in the instance the page will just hang and the admins will be none the wiser that you tried to sign up at all, so if you find that you haven't been approved after a few days it may be worth trying again with a different username.

Ok, thank you. I wasn't worried about it not being approved yet, I just assumed that having an email might have been a requirement because they're being relatively strict about signups and not having an email address is often a quick filter for keeping out undesireables.
Once you submit the application, a new user will be created. You can see the status of the webpage beehaw.org/u/. If you got denied, that page will show 404.
Oh, that's good to know, thank you!
