       @atomicpoet @arin_basu It’s the server choice you must do to get in. When you try to enter this seems like an extremely important choice and there is almost no information available to help make the choice.There should be a huge button saying “Pick a random server” and under it a text “you can easily change later if you don’t like it”.This is probably everything that needs to be done.

       @strypey @atomicpoet @arin_basu I know, I used it. And it’s very confusing. It’s extremely bad from a usability perspective since it asks new user to make a choice based on knowledge they don’t have and cannot acquire until they have entered the feediverse.. So the choice needs to be postponed to later.

       @strypey @arin_basu @atomicpoet Well, I understand I’m not representative for all new users. Though my assesment is based on the experience of doing hundreds of usability studies on websites with observations of how users interact with them. I designed user interfaces for internet banking over 20 years ago. We did one for a bank where customers needed to choose what local bransch they belonged to at first log on. That one had similar problems.

       @strypey @arin_basu @atomicpoet I’ll draft a design example of what I proposed above for you as soon as I have time. The point is to get people in as users before they get presented with a choice.New users = offered a random general purpose  serverExperienced users = knows what they want and is offered to choose manually

       @strypey @arin_basu @atomicpoet Following this principle will reduce or even eliminate cases of potential users who are curious or intend to join mastodon but fail,to register an account. It will also eliminate any rumors saying it’s complicated to join Mastodon. These rumors are currently making people less curious about joining.
