       Adding in-app registrations to the @pixelfed app is challenging, and not for technical reasonsThe decentralized nature means anyone can start an instance, but what happens when the admin decides they want to shut it down, or shut it down without notice?I think the app should limit in-app sign-ups to trusted instances that won't disappear overnightA potential compromise could be invite QR codes, or app linksThoughts?

       @dansup @pixelfed Make the default a browser for trusted instances, but give users the option to specify the URL of an instance as "advanced feature".This way everyone should be happy.

       @pixelfed I know this is controversial, but at the same time, the open nature of our platform allows other clients to support features and UX that our official app does not.It's all about compromise, I think this is the ideal way forward in terms of improving app onboarding

       @dansup @pixelfed No, not a good idea. You just have to accept the risk of that and find an instance with a good track record.
