Imagine sharing a link to your fediverse account to someone not on the fediverse, hoping they follow you.
Now imagine instead that the link you share takes them to a beautiful yet simple landing page that carefully guides them to the ideal platform, geographically closest, and helps them through the onboarding process, recommends the best desktop/mobile client and then follows you from their new account.
Stop dreaming. I'm building this. Wanna help?
@dansup I marvel at the technical abilities to do this. Way, way beyond my basic computer skills. That said, I would love the ability to link to a Pixelfed account to regularly see a favourite photographer's work in my feed. Please ensure our account safety if, during this process, better links to BlueSky & Threads are created. I don't trust any social media in the hands of private ownership, particularly if located in the US.
@dansup please implement autotranslation. Language barrier is huge for mass adoption
@dansup I like what you are doing though it doesn't benefit me as a WordPress user that I can tell.
Another use case would be having a link to an onboarding tool on profile pages, which could be tailorable for instances.
It could see someone not logged in, and given them the option of creating an account on the instance, or another instance.
This might even help with distributing new users to other instances.
It's a thought.
