I've picked on Pixelfed's join page in detail before at length. I think you'd be on board with my suggestions.
Speaking of complaints we have about the fediverse...
You linked to a post on sh.itjust.works, but I'm on slrpnk.net, so if I want to interact with it, I have hoops to jump through first.
Itβs just the default front end that does that. Using a front end like voyager can automatically redirect links to the instance you are signed in on, more apps and the default front end ought to do that quite frankly
Or I would have had hoops to jump through to get the lemmy.world link where that comment is (nominally) hosted. There's a chainlink icon and a technicolor pentagram icon, neither of those do it. I either have to manually go to lemmy.world's website, find the comment there, copy the link from there, come back to my account at sh.itjust.works and post it, or I post a sh.itjust.works link and send everyone on an indirect path. It's...not good.
