I know people want to join pixelfed.social and I'm asked daily about it

Closing registrations was not an easy decision to make, but one that was necessary to reduce centralization.

I built the new pixelfed.org/servers instance picker (and redesigned the entire site) to onboard new users in a more sustainable way, across several curated instances.

I'll re-open registration when the time is right 😉

@dansup You'd think that closing one instance should in a way solve the issue because you force other servers to grow, and they create their own network effect / pull to new users.

@dansup Wasn't there mention of an easier way to install PixelFed? Every time I go to setup a server I go to the documentation and it looks very intimidating even for a seasoned admin because of how the document seemingly scrolls forever.

@dansup Are there any plans to make it easier to migrate between instances in a similar way to Mastodon?

I wouldn't mind moving from pixelfed.social to a smaller instance, but I think it would mean starting again from scratch with both followers and people I follow.

@dansup Makes me think: we should have an astronomy Pixelfed. To share astro photos. pixedlfed.astro

@dansup Is there a way I could debug why I cannot add a pixelfed account to the #IceCubesApp?

After clicking on "Authorize," it does nothing.
