@jcrabapple @rjcc @Mastodon I'm wondering if a sign-up could include a way to randomly assign people to instances. Use a short questionnaire with key words to help identify interests. Then using that info, randomly assign people to instances that use those key words.

Go beyond asking them to change, get some of the new app developers to create alternative on boarding for new users, then start recommending those best apps to friends and potential new users. Maybe even some major Admins endorse that app because of this feature and the fact that they were responsive to this request. Servers with a recommended app.

@Urban_Hermit @AskPippa @rjcc @Mastodon One of the iOS apps is already directing users to its own instance.

What I think would be better is a short "help me find my server" quiz, like the things you see on websites that help people choose the right product model for them, based on a few multiple choice questions. Then it could suggest one or two servers from the pool that is already available on joinmastodon.org/servers

@EverydayMoggie @AskPippa @rjcc @Mastodon Yep I have discussed that with some folks too. Also a great idea.
