Super proud of the @pixelfed Curated Onboarding feature
Want to curate new users rather than have open registrations?
Not only do we support that, but we built a clever system to request more information from the applicant
We send them a link that takes them to a form where they can respond, and admins can get notified via email whenever there is a new applicant or response
But wait, there is more, admins can define reusable email request templates for easy management
Guess who just discovered a new Autospam training source??
Curated Onboarding requires applicants to include a "reason for joining" and the action the admin takes can be used to further train the Autospam data!
Admins: All you need to do to enable this once it's shipped is to navigate to the Admin dashboard -> Settings page and toggle the "Registration Status" setting, then tap "Save"
No .env changes or cli commands required.
Shouldn't everything be this easy? Most of it is with @pixelfed 😉
Admins will be able to silently reject curated onboarding requests, or send a rejection email. In the future, we'll support custom messages and templates!
The ideal solution for communities seeking a balance between open registration and invite-only membership.
Soon admins can opt for this feature when you desire thoughtful user inclusion, handpicked by your dedicated admins for your community that truly reflects shared values and vision.
