Super pumped to ship the in-app registration to the #pixelfedApp!

It's quite a complex process that involves internal https://fedidb.org and https://pixelfed.org APIs, magic links and more 😅

@dansup I've seen a lot of friends complain about the Mastodon sign-up UX -- "why do I need to choose a server? What difference does it make? How do I choose one?"

Inspiration may be gotten from this page (especially the blurb at the top): https://joinmastodon.org/servers

Random idea: Select some interests (like Twitter on first launch), and randomly select a server that is the closest match in terms of interests.

That said: The UI looks really good! Very clean.

Find where to sign up for the decentralized social network Mastodon.

@dansup Some additional feedback:

Screenshot 3: Use email keyboard?
Screenshot 4: Disable autocomplete for username input?
