I really, really appreciate seeing so many follows from mastodon.xyz (a different, new instance). When telling your friends about Mastodon, don't always point them to mastodon.social - point them to mastodon.xyz, icosahedron.website, social.tchncs.de, gay.crime.team etc etc

@Gargron It would be great if the mastodon.social signup screen did that.

Even better if we had a website to the general Mastodon project which we could point people to, that offered signup for various instances.

@hisham_hm @Gargron Gargron, if you want help setting up a landing page or anything, I don't claim to be super skilled, but I'm happy to help.

I'll see if I can get something up on mastadon.social for starters, or maybe someone can help me turn mastadon.social into another instance!

@b_cavello @hisham_hm If mastadon and mastodon .social were both different instances people would be suuuper confused

@b_cavello @Gargron I was thinking more like old email providers which offered you lots of domains to pick in a combo box:

Sign up: [_______]@[_______][v]

People would treat different instances just like email addresses.
