Click this link, type email and password. Federated services are just as easy from UX side. The complexity is the backend.
It seems easy, but the moment you ask the user to “choose their instance” - you already push away a lot of untechnical people. What is an instance? How do I know which one is good? Will I be able to talk to people on other instances (look at Lemmy, some instances are blocked by other instances)? Why do I even have to choose an instance?
From an UX standpoint, that’s a disaster. Stuff like Lemmy or Mastodon will remain forever a niche, because of that.
EDIT: Typo
Yeah, don't tell your grandpa to pick an instance. Just link him straight to the registration page. Solved.
Lemmy is the same. Facebook is the same. You don't need to tell a user that their Facebook account is going to be shared by their geography. That doesn't matter.
Just link then to the registration page for the instance that you use. Easy.
