Gregory's ServerI've been working on improving the UX of joinmastodon.org with @pamdrouin and the changes are now live.

@Gargron @pamdrouin main page looks good, but i can't seem to access /communities on any of my devices, i seem to be getting a redirect loop   @Gargron The communities widget for each server, doesn't link the server hostname to the site, so you have to copy-paste to another tab to see their front page, about, about/more, etc.  Good improvements, and nice to see it updated to show off the more recent main UI for Mastodon.... @Gargron Looks good. "We only list communities that are committed to active moderation against racism, sexism and transphobia." There used to be more criteria, like regular backups and multiple people with access to the computer, iirc. Are they dropped? (I cannot find the sign up page for communities any more.) There was a community I found interesting, but on their about page you mostly see toots from other communities. Would it be an idea to only show local toots?  @Gargron @pamdrouin is there some way you could provide a lighter theme for it? Just for the documentation section at least, I can't look at this for an extended period. Light on dark themes aren't accessible for everyone. |
The sign up section has been moved to a separate page, the confusingly interchanging usage of tech jargon like "instance" and "server" has been removed in favour of "community". The questions "can I move my account later" and "can I talk to people from other communities" is answered upfront. Categories are now at the front and the communities are grouped by language with a prominent language filter option. Communities that don't offer instant sign-up are now clearly marked as such upfront.
