Instance configured to accept user registration with admin approval : there is no way for the admin to know a user registered and is waiting for approval.
Changed the instance to open registration : user can log in, but still nowhere does it tell the admin that a new admin was created. The user list is empty until the id/name is added to the search option.
There is no email sent to the admin saying there is a new user nor does the user appear in the admin panel except if search with the user id / name. There is no log page with the information of who joined, is verified or approved that I could find.
Steps to reproduce
Create new instance
Create admin user
Select "admin approval on new users" in settings
Create new user
User receives email for verification, user verifiesemail , goes back to fluxer and gets message : The account is pending approval.
Nothing happens on the admin's side. There is no user in the list (except if know id/name), no email received to say a new user registered and is waiting approval.

No error logs that I can find ?

I found the users pending approval in the "instance config" page in the "Access & accounts" sections.
Still would be nice for the user list to have the users listed by default and something that notifies the admin that the user is waiting for approval.

It would also be nice, just an improvement idea, that in this same area, when a user registers with a birthday, their DOB should show up in that users Pending Registration box so an admin can verify it before approving.
