I kind of want to get the communities feeling on leaving registrations open. Do you want them to stay open, or do you think it was better when they were approval only?

The instance feels a lot more active and I noticed the user count went from ~900 at the start of open to 1.8k now. I like having open registration over approval as long as it’s not straining the servers or something.
We’ve had around 400 new posts and 800 new comments since (~25% increase in total). Most of the activity seems to have been due to around a dozen very active users seeding new communities, though.
