Hey everyone, It seems a lot of people are having issues verifying their email when first signing up as they are not receiving the email.
This is because around 20-30% or emails sent from admin@feddit.uk are being bounced due to being marked as spam. I’m working on fixing this at the moment, (the domain is on a domain blacklist on spamhaus.org)
In the meantime, please send an email to admin@feddit.uk from the email that needs verifying and I will verify the email manually which should resolve the issue.
Thanks, Tom
Did you purge the bot accounts @tom@feddit.uk ? Can see a material decrease which is actually good
Haha yeh i did there was around 3k bots accounts which I found and purged hadn’t liked or subscribed to any communities and their email was a distinct pattern
Thanks for the vigilance - most seem to just be joining and staying quiet. They’re like a ticking time bomb.
Just want to say - that alone, I hope, isn’t automatically an assumption of them being a bot. I rarely comment on threads - the only reason I’m even commenting now, is so that I can show that I am, in fact, a human.
