Several Redditors experiencing issues with email verification on signup. Best solutions? (sh.itjust.works)

I've noticed several Redditors over in r/Lemmy and r/LemmyMigration who are experiencing issues with email verification on signup.

Examples:

I see several people in helping out as best they can in the comments, but I think it would probably be better if the relevant instance admins could reach out directly.

What is the best way to do this?

In order to maximize the number of users who join Lemmy, I think it is important that we streamline the sign-up process as much as possible. It would be unfortunate to miss out on potential users due to email issues.

play 20 questions or share their life story

Who does that?

I have seen instances ask for very long essays before, maybe they stopped doing it or aren't around anymore but really the idea of interviewing users before signup isn't conducive to having a social platform with a thriving userbase, it's conducive to having small private clubs.

Some idiot is probably going to say something about growth not being important but that is blatantly not true, no one wants to use a platform with a small handful of people in it, and normies aren't going to want to join a platform they have to beg to join. It's better than invite only like Tildes sure, but not by much.
