Pixelfed admin email notifications for new registrations not working

[archos]

Admin email notifications for new user registrations stopped working in the latest Pixelfed version. This most likely started after the last update — registrations were previously closed, so I didn’t notice earlier. The issue occurs with filtered registrations (manual approval).

Details

• Users receive registration confirmation emails (working correctly)
• Admin no longer receives email notifications when a user registers
• This worked in the previous Pixelfed version
• Tested on two separate instances with the same result
• Main instance has ~2000 users, rollback is not an option

Verified configuration

• INSTANCE_CONTACT_EMAIL is set correctly
• ENFORCE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION=true is enabled
• Email delivery is working (users receive emails)

Question

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Admin notifications are critical for instances with manual approval enabled. At the moment, I have to manually check for new registrations several times a day.

Thanks for any advice!

Hello @archos
Can you please share the output of the following command from the Web Terminal of your @pixelfed app?

sudo -E -u www-data php artisan config:show instance.curated_registration

Hello @archos
This looks like an error from @pixelfed
@brutalbirdie did some debugging and created an issue: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/6399

@james Hello,
thank you very much for your reply.

Pixelfed development seems to be a bit slow at the moment.
Here is the output from the Pixelfed app web terminal:
