🔥 We are excited to let everyone know that our full website is now live!

We hope this will be an easy way for new users to get started with #Mastodon & join the wider #Fediverse & an organizing hub to build & spread a better, more open social web of ALL fediverse offerings.

With the #RedditMigration in full force & the likely #Barcelona launch bringing new attention to the Fediverse it is all the more urgent to help #TakeBackSocial

Spread Mastodon

Welcome to your better social home.

@spreadmastodon @[email protected] @fediversereport love the ideas and intention here. I'm very interested in all this, I'm building an iOS app for Mastodon currently and have my own ideas about potential onboarding and experience enhancements so I'd love to see how this works.

That said, the site is just spinning forever when I give permission via my current account, do you know how I can fix that? I can create a new one on mastodon.social for testing, but would rather not if I don't have to :)

@jknlsn @[email protected] @fediversereport Thank you Jake! Where did the site get stuck for you specifically?

@spreadmastodon @[email protected] @fediversereport ah I think I just figured it out.

Typing out hachyderm.io works, when I was putting in my full username it lets me through, authorises with the right account, but then hangs every time after authorising on https://spreadmastodon.org/enhance-account

I put the full account because typing my instance url into the box then hitting enter brings up a "server is required" message, which I misread haha. Clicking the log in and authenticate button works here though

Join Mastodon

Mastodon account signup using Next.js, React and Mastodon API

@jknlsn Will be trying to test that flow again and see if we can replicate.
@spreadmastodon here if you need any more info or I can help! 😊
@jknlsn and if we can give thoughts to how this can assist in your app dev let us know. Will be opening all source code next week!

@spreadmastodon will that include the contents of the recommendations such as the notable accounts and reasons, or the hashtags? I'd love to have those basically built in to the app, especially for new users.

My own ideas aren't far off for new users, but honestly I'd rather hand the actual recommendations off a little bit rather than it be purely my own opinion! So if it is coming from spreadmastodon.org then anyone who wants to plug them in would be able to potentially. Just a thought

@jknlsn Yes, and yes.
@spreadmastodon amazing. Look forward to it!
