John Morahan@Mastodon hmm, nice, but shouldn't the "Create an account" link go to https://joinmastodon.org/ rather than https://mastodon.social/auth/sign_up ?
Gustavo
adb@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
@adbenitez @jmorahan @Mastodon Weren't they working on solving this issue? Like, finding reliable servers?
@gustavo @adbenitez @Mastodon yes, or so they said: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/02/mastodon-is-for-the-people/#default-server-recommendations-and-server-discovery
but the button they're referring to is on https://joinmastodon.org/ which this link doesn't even point to
like, they could point it to https://joinmastodon.org/ *now*, and it would still effectively send people to mastodon.social, but at least that way when they fix that it would fix this too
