@dansup I like it :catKISS:

@dansup Looks a bit heavy and drags the eye. Maybe in a lighter grey?
But I like the idea

@dansup #Mastodon / #Moshidon has done this too!

@dansup

They look rather similar. Especially if someone had colour-blindness.

I wonder whether there could be square icons for the giant instances, round for medium size and triangular for small?

Incorporating black shapes would distinguish them more. Keyhole, stripe, slash, box.

@dansup Looks good, but i'd leave @ and make this badge slightly lighter. Dark color draws too much attention.

Maybe something like this:

@dansup Spiffy!

@dansup My only worry is that it'd result in users being less familiar with the full @user@example.com username syntax.

So that it is not as smooth an experience when trying different federated services.

@dansup My app (tooter beta for sailfishOS) shows the display name in the first row, rather large font, then the full handle and instance somewhat smaller in a second row beneath. That's very clear and helpful when searching for a special account. I don't need to know about number of followers right then. If I click an account, i can see public profile information.
Rather then the server badge, i would like a bot badge or a verified badge.

@dansup @@ is much better

@dansup I like the idea of showing the instance separately, but the badge seems a bit heavy. I'd rather deemphasize it, maybe a bit smaller and gray.

Having it separate means you can have separate click/hover behavior specifically for the instance, I think that's cool. maybe showing an overlay with some server stats or an excerpt from the about page.

@dansup love it!

@dansup I feel conveys the idea it's all the same service in a nice way! UI-wise I'd use a lighter touch of color in the badges.

@dansup The badge is a little much, but it’s close, the idea of separation is there. It views as an after thought. I would use a more standard @@ and maybe scale it back to 90-75% grey.

I’d do a quick mockup, but I’m in a meeting (booooo).

@dansup I don't really like server badges because they don't immediately tell you what they are and that they're an integral part of a profile's address. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@dansup I'm afraid this could make the feidverse more difficult to understand to the general audience 😦 (user@something it's relatable to email, so more intuitive, I think)
