@Elena Rossini ⁂ I can understand that advertising is important for promoting one's own product in a commercial world. However, in the Fediverse, it does not bring people together, but rather divides or excludes them. Therefore, it makes more sense to advertise for this purpose.
@gustavo also came here to comment that, the problem I see is that it is hard to recommend random instances that will disappear overnight, but at least offering a random trusted instance that have been running for years would be nice
I think the actual problem here is the strong dependency in a single instance, mastodon should move in a direction where you can have multi-homing and not have your profile depend on single point of failure
It doesn’t support cases where the WEB_DOMAIN and LOCAL_DOMAIN don’t match. I’m used to that from 3rd party tools, but for 1st party tools I’d expect better.
Please add autocomplete="off" to the domain field. Typing in anything other than proper words is a pain on mobile.
Why does ‘Create an account’ lead directly to mastodon.social?!
nice, 2 wishes. support for mobile apps would be great and of course alias domain support is also missing. I hope you consider this in a future release.
"There used to be a legitimate reason for this: unlike legacy social, Mastodon isn’t a single monolithic website..."
Email links work on web pages, even though email is decentralized. The reason it works is because email has a protocol handler known as 'mailto:'. Its a simple URL definition that tells any program (esp. operating systems) where to handle a clicked link, such as your email client.
A handler for ActivityPub should have been defined, but that detail was overlooked.
Maybe also give a deeplink like thing which will let me open my account's toot editor with the blog link, that'll make things quicker and will have a standardized approach too for many clients to adopt. Maybe an interim browser extension or an app in mobile to redirect such things in our mastodon account app / webapp. #Mastodon #Fediverse #instance #sharing
