⚠️ Feedback wanted!
I'm working on improving the @pixelfed app onboarding, and want your feedback on the new sign up flow.
Does this do a good job at conveying the choice of communities to join while providing an easy default instance to join?
This isn't final, I'd like to get a general positive consensus on this before moving forward.
Boosts greatly appreciated!

@dansup @pixelfed IMO many new users won’t read all that text and are likely to think “communities” is a feature, rather than alternate servers. I suggest adjusting the title for that button to make it feel more like an alternative: “join a different community” or “explore my options” or something.

@pixelfed Updated signup screen, thanks for the feedback and please keep it coming!

@dansup @pixelfed Specify that they all intercommunicate, so being on one server doesn’t exclude you from content in another. Very hard to wrap your head around when you’re new to an activity pub platform

@Josh @pixelfed I meant that I added more info and posted the screenshot here https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110439461746047988

@dansup @pixelfed I’m sorry what? I don’t understand what you mean

@dansup What about reversing the two buttons? It would match the order described in the text. First you mention choosing a community, then pixelfed.social as a fallback. The buttons should probably match this order.
dansup
@nclm Hows this? The first screenshot will be shown when pixelfed.social is reachable and has registrations open, and the second one will be displayed if that isn't the case!

@thanius @pixelfed I added that https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110439767923681361 !

@dansup I think that works! And maybe replace ❗ with ℹ️ ?

@nclm I'm using Ionicons for that, can you find a better one on https://icons.expo.fyi/ (then filter for Ionicons) ?

@dansup I’d said “information-circle-outline”?

@nclm Perfect! It does look better, thanks for the feedback 😁

@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 😁

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.

@dansup @pixelfed honestly love the 1st screen with the vibrant text. Helps onboarding very well. 2nd screenshot is suggesting pixelfed.social which is fine, but you don't want to risk a similar situation to what @Gargron had with the @Mastodon app.

Meh. Money is all that actually matters in the end
