@acidyo - there used to be about 5000 people getting through the each 2 weeks or so. Now there are 20 a day or so through steem. This means maybe 300 in the same 2 weeks.
Therefore, somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-15K people have applied but are not processed in the last month.
But already the push through rate was falling off in the last months, so there are probably even more unprocessed applications than that.
Why has the number dropped off so hard?
The assumption is that the person who used to do this every two weeks was fired.
Who at steem(it) is approving the 20 entries per day and do they need some help?
-
There are steemians who would volunteer to help so the new people can get in.
-
We have others who are delegating sp to new people so they can work around the rc problem when they get here. (@thedarkhorse @crypto.piotr are two who come to mind.) I am sure others would step in if more people got approved.

A possible alternative would be to partially farm out the sign ups to the other dapps that are already approving new members and let them get the manpower. This is from a couple of days ago and steemhunt is usually here too.

Below is the "State of the dapps" report for "social" and sorted by number of people. esteem is missing but normally has about 600.

We really need those people outside the gate to get in here.
You say:
>Last time I told a user from another platform to check out Steem he got his account created the same day through Steemit.
I have gotten about 20 sign ups since June 2017 - all personal friends and content creators. It used to take a few days through steemit. The last one was in October 2018 and it took about 10 days for her to get approved. Before that, in about July, 2018 it took 3 weeks for another friend to get in. I know this because he emailed me constantly wondering what could possibly take so long.
And for this part of his statement, and your reply to @socky -

What would be your guess for the backlog of people wanting to get in here - if any?

tagging because they know and work with the numbers.
