I like the way Voyager does it: image

DeltaChat also has a very easy onboarding process: you just put your name, and that's it. The app creates the password in the background and allows you to switch servers easily. That really helps with onboarding new joiners.

Piefed.zip could be a nice default choice. If there are others you see, feel free to suggest.

I think the problem is that there's two competing problems here: The federated structure of the fediverse and good onboarding. We certainly can improve onboarding, but trying to bypass it and just throw people into an instance sort of negates what the point of federation is. And I don't think it would stop many people confused now, from being confused.

"I'm just happy to be here" is a fun archetype but unfortunately not that common lol

It could become more spread if we started using good hidden defaults.

For a while there was a large amount of Sync+Lemmy.world user, because LW was the default instance

We should try to replicate something similar with Voyager and Piefed.zip

@Blaze @Skavau are there any piefed instances that are tied to an alternative frontent like Voyager yet?
