It is here, the Instance Picker!
You can help your friends find a home on #Mastodon, by directing them to two places.

If you also want to provide them information about what Mastodon is, Joinmastodon.org is the place
https://joinmastodon.org

If you want to just help them pick an instance, @TheKinrar 's instance picker can be found at
https://instances.mastodon.xyz

And a feedback thread is here:
https://discourse.joinmastodon.org/t/feedback-instances-mastodon-xyz-thread/401

And if you want to support @TheKinrar for their good work with helping build on the ecology of Mastodon, you can support them via Patreon (and find other donation options on their page)

@TheKinrar Hey, the instance picker is awesome... The quiz ought to have a "previous question" button though maybe.
@TheKinrar @Mastodon where is the source of joinmastodon.org? I think it needs some metatags such as Twitter/Facebook/schema.org cards. it will be more visible in social media.
@Mastodon @TheKinrar wouldn't a search function be more practical than the wizard? I'm not saying the wizard should be replaced but search would be more intuitive for most..

@sati Sure, this makes sense in a way. May be worth dropping that line by the discourse, as it's easier for @TheKinrar to keep track on the various feedback. :)

(sorry for the late reply)

@maloki @sati It's planned xD
