If you'd read the information when setting up the group to transfer into, you'd have read that you must have at least one choice in the Spam Control set.? It sounds to me like you chose Unmoderate After x Messages.? If you'd chosen Restricted instead, all members would be approved and not need a message approved.? There will never be an option for automatic approval without moderating any messages.
As I said, I wish I'd understood that overarching philosophy of groups.io before I migrated. Because that should be an option. I believe that philosophy is unique to groups.io. It's absolutely not a feature. It might be an intentional design limitation, but it is a limitation.
I don't believe, in the migration documents, it's clear that "Restricted" would specifically auto-approve everyone on the migration. It likely should be clarified in that context.
And, thank you, I had read everything on the information. I just hadn't realized the context of it being a limitation of the functionality of groups.io. That it has additional methods of managing moderation over other software? Great. It's nonsensical to me that, with the generally more complete functionality of groups.io, that's it's missing a feature of every other email list software.
