The registration process doesn't validate (bad)email addresses resulting in non_recuperable accounts

My concern is more with the involuntary trashing of the namespace : an account registration should be dropped if not validated after a certain amount of time.

Yes that's a good idea, could you raise it as enhancement request here: https://github.com/LemmyNet

Please, can someone (lemmyist) with an account on GitHub do this ... as I have no knowledge about it 🙏

Maybe the request for improvement (to be raised on GitHub) could be as such :

Lemmy account registration should be dropped if not validated after a certain amount of time. Old databases should be revised. To be applied only where an email is required for registration.
Edit : Better yet : the registration page should not drop until successful registration

Please be so kind to reply here after you raise it 👍

Was already raised here by https://github.com/gaywallet ( they are : @[email protected] ?)

it will not be resolved.

reasons from dev. dessalines :

commented last week •

When a user applies to our instance and is denied, the user does not receive the denial reason.

Getting in contact with them is the issue. I suppose we could email them the denial reason, if they provided an email. Open up an issue for that if you would. We already email them an approval notice.

Also, if they try to login after being denied, they will get a popup red toast / error message with their denial reason.

The end user cannot apply again if it is rejected, is this intended behavior? It seems they can't log in either. There's no communication to the person trying to register

They can apply again, but with a different username. That's very much inteneded behavior, because what you'd be asking for is essentially a chatroom / back and forth method of onboarding. This would be a massive amount of work to add to lemmy.
