Oh, found a post by the admin of that instance, it's from a week ago
its the default setting of every new instance to require approval, on my instance i dont require email verification so i thought i could at least have people write something to let me know they’re human. in the end no one uses my instance so I just opened it up, maybe after some registrations ill make it an application again.
Boy oh boy, @gaylord you're in for a fun time there, bud
48k users right now btw, he's getting a lot of bots
