Registration mode: open or application? (lib.lgbt)

As I'm sure most of you noticed, you had to fill in an application to participate here.

While this can be pretty useful from a quality perspective, it is also a significantly barrier to entry; obviously you have to fill in said application, wait to be approved, and then have a sufficient level of interest to return and participate.

Lower barriers of entry can help engagement, but can also harm communities with bad actors gaining easy access.

Anyone have any opinions?

I think applications are good if it's okay for the mods, because it is some more work.

But I'm quite surprised to learn there are applications to this community, since I was not prompted to fill one. My submission is "still pending" though, so maybe I just cannot see it.

My account is from lemmy.world, maybe there is a problem because of this ?
