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 removing the user count is a very good thing. The FOMO psychology is real, but you truly don't miss out on anything because of federation. I think this will really help

@Gargron While you're at it please remove "freeze peach" instance qoto.org. We don't want instances on there that feel it's necessary to qualify "hate speech" with "explicit".

@Gargron The past couple days I have not been unable use my federated or local feeds, I'm not too computer smart but is this just temporary or do I have to start a new channel? Find another server?

Hi Eugen, Amazing work building and scaling so fast.

Do you know how we can get the med-mastodon.com instance listed on your awesome joinmastodon list of servers page?

Thx in advance

@Gargron Awesome. Letting people filter is good. So are explanatory notes. Non-tech people can understand servers and decentralization enough to sign up and use mastodon.(I saw comments on another platform suggesting otherwise.) They just need the type of things you described here.

@Gargron

I suspect that having to choose an instance is still preventing many people from joining.

What about allowing a simplified sign-up procedure for beginners that do not care about instances?

Something like allowing to create an account on a random general server would simplify the process for beginners.
