I had this solution in mind for #Mastodon on #iOS, but I guess its somewhat transferrable to #PixelFed too if you are willing to maintain a list of instances.

@matt @pixelfed Oh that looks really nice!

We do maintain a list of instance that are used in the app, but we only have a few generic categories so maybe I'll work on improving the pixelfed.org Directory to support more categories and implement something like that design.

Thanks for sharing that 😁

@dansup @pixelfed No problem! 😊

My suggestion might need some improvements, but as a starting point; I think its okay.

I like that it avoids speaking about servers and federation and just asks people to pick a username - something everyone can understand. 😎

Alternative servers are just a click away, and you get a little preview of what that server is about before you confirm your selection - so you can quickly switch again if it wasn't what you expected.
