Here is the issue for the android version: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android/issues/568

@feditips I’ve tried *many* Fedi apps and I keep coming back to the ‘official’ one. Most of the third party apps have implemented *something* in a way that is really annoying. Most common seems to be the way hashtags work - key functionality for me is indicating which hashtag is the most used one. If it doesn’t give me an idea of how much a specific one is used I won’t have a clue which one people might actually be following…

@feditips
I would be much happier if people could join multiple instances and accounts were not tied to one home instance. In this case the default instance could more easily funnel people to other smaller and more specialized instances. Users would have people to talk to while waiting for their applications to private instances to be approved or denied. The current migration process is off-putting.

If the size of the default instance becomes unmanageable, idle members could be auto-culled.

@feditips
Yet, on the joinmastodon it is said by default:

mastodon.social The original server operated by the Mastodon gGmbH non-profit

And the next one is mstdn.social

I see no real difference here — you afraid of concentrating people on a single server without choice. But new people will surely tend to choose the 1st or the 2nd one, even while they have a choice.

@feditips I'll be perfectly honest with you, I get what you're saying but as a new user I wish this was there for me. It was very confusing when I first signed up to the point I almost gave up on it. I picked Social because all the big names seemed to be here & I didn't understand how the system works with other servers.

There needs to be more focus to explain the system & simplify the process or people are going to move past Mastodon. Just my two cents as a newbie, I could be wrong.

@feditips pls, add Ukrainian servers to your tool

@feditips Let this go. Making it easier for people to join Mastodon will only benefit the network. Once they land, they can then move if they choose to. Such ideological frenzy will only get in the way of this platform being all that it can be. The Fediverse, by nature, is not 'pure.' So let's not try to purify it.

@feditips AHA! You’re the one. I stumbled upon fedi.garden and was impressed but would have wanted more options. But I didn’t write down the name. I really think something like this could work pretty well.
