About two days ago we found a bug with the registration system on lemmy. Because of this we have updated our registration process a few times, and cannot deny any applications as the person registering does not receive any message and cannot re-apply.
We currently have several hundred people that we are waiting to deny, and some unknown amount of people that we denied prior to finding this issue which we would really like to contact and give them a chance to register as they didn’t write enough in their registration for us to really evaluate if they were a good fit for this instance.
If you’re a developer please take a look at this github issue and please work your magic to help fix this problem.
As an aside, we also have a list we’ve been working on for enhancements that would make moderating and administering this instance a lot easier, and enhancements we think users would enjoy in terms of UI and UX. We’d love to share these as well as facilitate a discussion to surface more ideas (and we plan to in the future), but right now we need to focus on the most pressing issue to us running this website, whether people can create an account here and participate.
How hard is going from C# to rust? Ngl, I absolutely loath C++ syntax
No matter the language, Rust is just a different beast. You don’t do OOP the way you do in C#, so you will have to change your expectation how code is designed. And you will have a very very hard initial (!) learning curve to get used to the borrow checker, which is Rust’s biggest strength. It’s absolutely worth learning and you will learn something to take “back” to other languages as well. But it’s not easy. No matter your background.
