So I post a fair number of links to youtube videos on !sumo@lemmy.world and !gothindustrial@lemmy.world and sometimes a couple of movie-related comms. Anyway, recently lemmy.world updated their server software and the way that they handle youtube thumbnails. So I wanted to check it out.
So I went to create an account on lemmy.world. So I entered my email info, and where it asked for an explanation I explained that this is sergio@slrpnk.net wanting to post to those communities.

First of all, their captcha is really difficult. I could not figure out the first 3 that it presented so I kept hitting the icon to get a new one. The 4th one I thought I knew so I entered it.

So I tried to log in and it said "did not verify email." OK, so I go to my email, find the link, click it and enter my password and it says "registration application denied"
I'm not complaining about either one. I don't really mind having a tough captcha if it keeps out bots. I guess I don't mind having my registration application denied, though I wish it told me why. Did I get the captcha wrong? Did I say something wrong in my application text? Should I try again later? Weirdly enough, https://lemmy.world/u/sergio does exist and it was created at the time that I signed up for that account.
Anyway, that's one example of the problems a new user can have trying to join lemmy.
Thanks for sharing.
Once you have the account, let us know if you can see all the content or if you have !languagesettings@lemmy.zip issues
Looks like Undetermined and English were selected by default. Don't see any problem seeing content.
That's great!
