We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.

point people to one instance you like instead of a general website
on Piefed, when people register, they can either join indeed the instance they're on, or have a look at other options: https://piefed.zip/auth/instance_chooser

Having to explain federation is kind of the issue in my opinion. This idea wouldn't be to remove the normal sign up process, it would be a way to side step it entirely for those who don't care about the technology aspect of it and just want to be part of the community.

If you want to pick your own instance or suggest one, that would still exist. This would just be an alternative. It would also help to avoid everyone gravitating towards the largest instance, because it would try to load balance people automatically.

I don't, nowadays, I just point to piefed.zip

The issue is that there aren't really instances that are similar enough to be considered interchangeable. They all have their specificity, be it admin style, defederation, downvotes enabled or disabled, front-ends available, etc.

Yeah that's a good point. Maybe it's too different for it to work. I maintain that complexity will continue to push people away, though. If instances are that different we might have better luck referring to them as their own sites. That would just increase the flocking to single mega instances though. The most important feature of any social media site is who's on it.

It's okay if they join one instance. I'm not a fan of the LW dominance, but it's better to have another LW user than no user at all

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago

I would agree with that. I think the ability to spin up new instances if something goes wrong with a big one is still a great feature even if one gains dominance.

I don't know how hard account migration is right now, but that's probably another UX thing to make easy if the devs decide to work on it.
