Seconded. The onboarding is so terrible we just gave up after failing in every possible direction. Nothing worked.
It's such a shame as I really like the underlying ideas. But the implementation is hopeless and the way it's presented on their website is downright icky. Honestly, the video "explanation" of a love story with Scuttlebutt weirded me out - it was more like some weeb's fantasy of what a love story would be like rather than any kind of useful intro into how you'd use it.
- staltz 4y ago(I develop Manyverse) Onboarding in SSB is invite-driven and thus is at odds with safety. If you want to "find people" easily, and easily join the network, then this means that any harasser can also do the same. Improving Onboarding while not sacrificing Sustainability and Safety is my top priority and there are several protocol advancements being worked on, more information here: https://gitlab.com/staltz/manyverse/-/wikis/Starchart/ https://gitlab.com/staltz/manyverse/-/wikis/Starchart/
- midenginedcoupe 4y agoNone of the docs I found said that. And we could get on to the network and join pubs. Only there was nothing in there. We should also have been able to invite each other and follow each other's posts, as we were both using devices on the same wifi, but that just silently failed. A week or so later the iphone app rolled out an update with a patch note saying something along the lines of "whoops, new signups went to the test servers instead of prod by mistake" which _may_ explain some of it. But going back in to the app after the fix was no better.
- staltz 4y agoAre you talking about Planetary social?
- midenginedcoupe 4y agoProbably, yes. I don't remember which client I tried, but that's showing as a previously installed app that's no longer on my phone.
