@dansup but why then do you want to have an onboarding that leads to one instance? It will raise the server costs even more and you can't meet the monthly costs atm? I don't understand

@bookstardust because a lot of new users do not understand federation, its a complicated step

@dansup This was probably proposed, but: what if any instance could have some setting in it which says that it is ok with being a โgeneralโ one. Then, on the onboarding step, a random instance from a list of instances that participate would be selected, with some simple explanation for a user, a button to randomize it from the same list again, and then a link to all instances?

@kizu That won't work, people who are not familiar with the fedi want to join the flagship instance with the most trust and reliability.
Using random servers to register on is very dangerous, because not all of them are as dedicated to this as I am, some of them don't update frequently or handle mod reports as fast as we do.
For new people, it's essential we provide them the best experience and server, and few can provide the level that I can, because I'm the developer.

@dansup Mm, I think maybe we should have a bit more faith in the Fediverse, and other Pixelfed servers? That's why I mentioned the โpledgeโ, and why I mentioned some moderation over which servers are accepted. Of course, just random servers would be bad from many standpoints.
Not giving an option is saying โall other servers deserve no trustโ.

@dansup why not close registrations to spread the cost?
