    Bummer that they’re vetting all new subscribers for an iPhone community. Seems like an aggressive gatekeeping tactic for a benign topic.

      Yeah you have to be careful. I still venture to guess 80% of folks here have no idea how federation works. Over time I hope things get better but federation is not a newbie friendly thing. People have to realize how it works and the more spread out the better.

      I’ve heard in other lemmy communities that the vetting is mostly an attempt at an anti-spammer( and anti-troll) measure.
