So after joinmastodon.org has received so many improvements... How do we test how well it works? 🤔
@Gargron what was the impetus behind the changes in the first place?
@toychicken Negative feedback from personally asked people
@Gargron okay that's a valid start, strong opinions often uncover useful directions. However, no-one comes without bias :)
What's your #1 objective? Grow Mastodon? Get more users? Improve features?
Whatever that priority is, you need to baseline your existing work before making further changes. Then, as you make changes, see what impact they make.
You're only a small team, so it'll be hard to track more than one or two effects at once, so be judicious about what you want to track.
Finally...
@Gargron ... It's likely that your message on joinmastodon is already pretty good, and that to increase numbers, you'll need to reach people beyond your network. That means marketing.
