I've changed quite a few parts on joinmastodon.org/servers today in response to the feedback from the past week. In detail:

You can now filter by region, type of legal entity, and sign-up speed. Added note about why the topics filter exists. Changed tagline.

"Get on waitlist" has become "Apply for an account" for servers that manually review new sign-ups. Removed total user count from cards.

@Gargron Thanks for your efforts here, I saw your interview in TIME magazine. I miss Germany something fierce, I used to live in Baumholder many years ago.

@Gargron 👍 well done

@Gargron Why did you remove the totaly user counts? Are you trying to push distribution by avoiding favoring the big instances?

@Gargron Is there a way to get new servers listed? Happy to take some of the load ;)

@Gargron These are positive changes. Thank you.

Is there a way to make qualifications for getting added a little more transparent? Is there a minimum of user accounts?

@Gargron When will the new version 4.0 of Google Play be available to us?

@Gargron is there an API for that server list? I'm trying to build a global/fediverse wide hashtag list to help people organise around hashtags - https://hashtags.fyi - does something like that exist? I've been using instances.social API to get the list of servers to poll for trends.

@Gargron Hi. I am sorry to be a bother. Completely new to this site.
I am trying to look up/read on terms of the site/policies (so that I don't break them).

When I click on about, it takes me here to your page. Also from the email.

Also, how do I look for/find specific servers? Say I want to join a history server.

Thanks in advance!

@Gargron I've heard complaints from people who find the whole "choose a server" thing intimidating. They just want to sign up on Mastodon and take it for a spin. Maybe add an option to get signed up on a random general-interest server.
