       I built a fediverse onboarding tool, powered by FediDB and CommunityDB.It's open source, and I'd love more help!https://fedidb.com/welcomeSource: https://github.com/fedidb/fedidb-nuxt/blob/main/pages/welcome/index.vueCommunityDB: https://github.com/fedidb/communityDB#Fediverse #FediDB #Onboarding

       @dansup@mastodon.social When the user clicks on "Microblogging" they will always get just Mastodon and not Pleroma and Misskey, for example. I feel like these should be selected as well.Also I see you have hardcoded a small list of specific servers to receive a special "Official Server" badge:['mastodon.social', 'mastodon.online', 'pixelfed.social', 'pixelfed.art']I believe good onboarding tool should move away from these so called "official servers", I recommend removing this badge, or giving this badge a red color instead of a green one, because we want to avoid centralization here.

       @SuperDicq Great points, and yeah we do need to provide more diverse recommendations, if you look at the source for them, we rank by user counts but we can do better.As for the official servers, you raised a great point and I will remove that.

       @dansup@mastodon.social Great. If you want more feedback I have some more suggestions:Region makes no sense, selecting a language would be a much better option to have. For example if click on "Europe" the list contains a bunch of German speaking instances (I don't speak German).I feel like there need to be more questions, such as asking the user about their hobbies and interests, to help filter better. But of course all instances need to be indexed on this first.If there is no other more relevant metric available for sorting I think sorting instances by user count is fine. Maybe set the "Smaller communities" option to on by default?
