If you like Mastodon and want it to succeed, you should understand that if something like this happens, it's fundamentally a UX failure, not a user one.
- jasonhansel 4y agoThat's essentially why I posted this; it shows what happens when (some) people outside the HN crowd try to join the fediverse.
- Finnucane 4y agoI’ve heard more than a few complaints about the apps. For myself I’ve only used the web interface, and it’s been fine.
- OctopusLupid 4y agoI'm not sure how joinmastodon.org can improve its UX for sign-up. It seems as simple as it can be right now, without just piling everyone onto mastodon.social. Any ideas? Perhaps a "pick what topics you like, and here's a couple recommended, open servers" thing? Maybe that picker can even lead directly into the server's sign-up form.
