Is reapplying a thing? How do I know if I should reapply?
If it’s been over 24 hours and you haven’t gotten a confirmation email, and still can’t login (email could end up in spam or may be unreliable due to server load weirdness) then I think you should reapply, as you’re likely in ‘limbo’. Apparently there isn’t really a way for the admins to notify people via Lemmy if their application hasn’t been accepted for whatever reason. Although it’s possible you have been approved as others are reporting similar issues here https://beehaw.org/post/533893.
If you reapply make sure you read the FAQ here https://beehaw.org/post/452132 and engage with the ‘why do you want to join’ question. I’m sure the mods are properly slammed with requests lately but I believe registration is still open.

I thought I engaged pretty well with the questions, but I answered them from a simple, matter-of-fact perspective, basically just saying that it’s a big instance and I’d like to be a part of it, then answering #3 with the communities I’d like to participate in. Do I have to specifically affirm the philosophical underpinnings of how beehaw operates? I’m fine with that and I do agree with them with how I would participate on beehaw, it just didn’t seem necessary when applying.This is a social media platform. You should do what you think is right for you. Being true to who you are > membership on any platform.
