Closing registrations in Fedia.io due to spammers (fedia.io)

Until I implement a better system to screen out spammers, I will be closing registrations on Fedia.io. That’s not what I want - I’d like for it to be available for legitimate accounts, but the spam is off the hook.

Anyone seeing this can send me an email (jerry@infosec.exchange) and I’ll get an account created for you in the mean time.

@jerry@fedia.io Fair enough. Any "decision" i end up making on this is a low-priority thing, but from my initial looking at your instance the other night, i suspect i'm prolly leaning towards not bothering... not as any slight against your fine work, but simply coz i'm not sure that i like the UI & its tools [compared to Friendica & even Masto]. Also, given that as a lot of my posts, & fav interlocutors' posts, regard #AusPol, my initial keyword search for that #hashtag there were rather underwhelming.

You don't search for hashtags on a content aggregator like this (Lemmy itself didn't even support hashtags until very recently), but for communities / magazines that fit your needs that you subscribe to for a more personalized feed (I'd use external search tools to find communities though, as mbin's magazine search can only find what's already federated) - or just browse /all and let whatever is federated hit you.
