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.

none of the instances I listed above would want to become a "default" instance except Piefed.zip

Then .zip it is. For now. This is obviously a growing platform, but we should have a plan to decentralize for the future.

I can assure you that as soon as some ready-loaded, well designed and reliable piefed instances emerge that are 'generalist' in purpose I will promote them on piefed.social in an order to spread the userbase.
