The site is for a reddit subreddit ( r/futurology) making its fediverse migration. We’re almost ready to launch, but some people seem to have trouble registering & logging in. Obviously we want to understand why before we open it up.
If anyone wants to help and has a few moments it would be great if you could test joining. If successful, leave a post/comment in the site’s meta section. If not, could you leave a comment here, with a description of the problem and any error message. The developer has asked if you have problems with the site, could you try logging in a second time here - https://a.futurology.today/ (it will better track error messages).
If you’re being honest, perhaps you could share some of your reasons for saying so with the class? The request itself sounds pretty reasonable, and the tone is polite.
In fairness, I can see why the accusation of being spammy is justified. But to address the issue of scamminess - Although we don’t mention the site address yet, here’s it being talked about by the Mod Team on r/futurology

Why didn’t you post this on the first place then? Why did someone need to question you and your intentions? Isn’t this common sense?
It is better when lemmy users who know the ground can test the server a bit before it gets DDOSed with some reddit users who dont know anything and get raged
Like an beta and alpha phase for finding bugs and testing as much as possible out before the offendable users get confronted with it
Who is Lough, the OP. Why not give some credentials pointing to the Reddit sub? Is he/she a mod? I don’t even have to explain this.
