It took a few days for instances to be upgraded and admins to fill in their profiles but it's looking much healthier now!

Are there any instances that accept new users without requiring email verification? I live under a brutal dictatorship and I cannot afford to have my social media accounts associated with my real identity. I get that it’s an anti-spam thing but users like me are getting left in the dust in the transition from Lemmy to PieFed because of this.

Yes, it's quite common but I don't want to show that information as it'd make life too easy for spammers.

Anyway you can use a throwaway email service like https://sorry.idont.date/ and even if they have registration applications turned on (many don't) and the person processing your application notices you're using a throwaway that will just be one factor in the approve/decline decision.
