@pixelfed nice. A couple of things I’d wonder: I still think the instance picker is going to be the biggest hold up for people.

And clicking through each rule is a huge PITA (I’ve seen mastodon servers with like 15 rule sets. All valid, but I would hate clicking through all of them).

And does the email link to open the app work in Safari too? I see issues with Mastodon links opening properly and assume it’s because there are infinite urls possible?

Good point on the “rules”. Majority of people wouldn't bother reading any of it, just like majority of people just skip reading the ToS/ToA.

Personally, a short bulleted list is much better than clicking/tapping. If one wants a more detailed description, then they can go to the website itself.

Something like how Creative Commons did for the CC Licenses. A human-readable summary of the most important parts, and a legalese version if one wants to go through it.
