@spreadmastodon@mastodon.social @spreadmastodon@venera.social @fediversereport I’m not a huge fan of the “make the big sites bigger” approach, even with the round Robin. I understand that lowers the barrier to entry for newbies, but I also think that raising awareness about specialized or regional instances is an important part of Federation. 3 comments
@spreadmastodon@mastodon.social @spreadmastodon@venera.social @fediversereport I respect the compromise that the official app has made for its sign-ups. There is a default “click here to sign up for a big one” button, which could be your round robin choice. But then a “Find another server” option with sorting by different criteria and categories. Bonus points: even better than the Mastodon app’s flow would be some explanation about why someone might want to consider going one way or the other. @brian @spreadmastodon@venera.social @fediversereport Yes it could. The goal of this site is to incite ideas like that for every onboarding solution for the Fediverse. |

👍 Very up for suggestions as to how the round robin proposal could include X number of mid-range servers that meed the other requirements.
And we are opening up the full source here and would welcome multi-language versions of this site and all the tools, including the onboarding tool.
