I know there can be custom user fields, but is there any way of sorting out group requests and category watching from the signup form? (Either the normal Discourse signup form, or using a plugin, or separately using the API?) Thanks.

Choose groups and watched categories on signup

Is it possible now? I see that Automation is now part of Discourse itself so maybe has been improved as part of that process.
