@pixelfed nice. A couple of things I’d wonder: I still think the instance picker is going to be the biggest hold up for people.

And clicking through each rule is a huge PITA (I’ve seen mastodon servers with like 15 rule sets. All valid, but I would hate clicking through all of them).

And does the email link to open the app work in Safari too? I see issues with Mastodon links opening properly and assume it’s because there are infinite urls possible?

@pixelfed Looking forward to finally getting the as I don’t really like homescreen shortcuts. Is there any way to switch instances after creating an account?

@pixelfed It looks so great! Can't wait for it to be available for Android!

@pixelfed we have very different ideas of “ridiculously simple” 😳

why not just use sign in with apple/google?

@brando While some user might not have concerns about their privacy, some do. So offering a way to create an account without having to rely on big tech companies is important.

Also, I'm not sure how much simpler it would make it. You would still need to enter your Google/Apple password, accept the request for permission, etc. I guess you would only skip the email confirmation step.

@narF no, you don’t need to sign in with any password. At least not for apple. And I only meant it as an optional way to sign up, not to remove the option of creating a password.

@pixelfed I believe listing the instance rules than using pagination will be much better.

@pixelfed Sorry this is off-topic, but is it normal that I see words being cut like this on pixelfed?

@narF @pixelfed

exactly, right? what is going on. it does not yet have basic functions reliably working, can we work on details of what is existing so far before moving on to build a pixelfed planet where we can send astronauts to?

I have tried reaching out a few hours ago but am lost in the noise I am afraid

@pixelfed very cool indeed. Waiting for Android. :)

@pixelfed I really like this onboarding UX. Including the server rules in the steps is a nice touch. Well done!

@pixelfed why is the android app 100mb, is it a server too?

@pixelfed when official pixelfed app will be avaible in Google Play shop ?

@pixelfed mastodon has to take inspiration from this, its much more simple and user friendly than the existing setup process
