I’ve set registration to Require application again, don’t like this bots creating accounts.
Also I’m running into email limitations. Using the Sendgrid Free plan of 100 emails per day, but if a couple of member have email notification on, I’m reaching that 100 very quickly. How do others handle the high email traffic ?
While looking for a way to enable captchas I found out that they will remove that feature from lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2922
Wouldn’t it help to force registrations solve an expensive proof of work on the client side?
That would probably only slow them down. And since their main goal is to create a ton of working accounts, speed is probably not that important to them. On my own instance the bot-registrations stopped immediately after I enabled the required application.
That’s unfortunate. A lot of bots have beaten them but it still stops a lot of low quality bots
