I want to show you a demo of how easy Loops handles onboarding.

We display the Follow button, and when not logged-in, we present the webfinger address that is easily copied, or you can join.

From browsing to signed-up in a minute 😎

The thing is though, there are several projects for servers out there. As a decentralized FOSS project, you don't need to rely on one source for either servers nor clients.

I don't know anything about the protocol itself. I don't know if there's anything there that is fundamentally broken, but if it's an implementation issue, that can be fixed by others.

I use #FluffyChat for my client, and though I don't use it often, it is a fairly pleasant client to use I must say.

Will be interesting to see if #Sup is going to make any difference with this issue though, of finding a common way for the fediverse to communicate with instant messaging. But it'll still be years before we see the fruits of that initiative I think.

#Loops is still a broken mess, and they still need to maintain and expand Pixelfed. That's not a lot of time/resources for developing Sup.

Almost done polishing Loops, there is a lot of really innovative features that make onboarding and sharing easier.

Can't wait to get it in your hands ✨

(Btw, the reason we have silos in the share modals is because you can easily copy the link and share to your fediverse server.)
