I just wished that Apple supported something like the Google Play Install Referrer.
This would enable deeplinked invites and onboarding, even if the app wasn't installed.
I know you can get around this using a combination of a central service that tracks IP and OS, and matching that up after the app is installed, and several services like this exist, but I'd only feel comfortable doing this if we built our own that was open and self-hostable.

Discovery and finding your friends on the fediverse can be tricky.
Either you upload your entire contact list to a central service (nope), or you leverage clever invite methods that people share out of band, to connect IRL people on the fediverse.
Could be as simple as a special invite QR code or link your users can share anywhere, that when visited, onboard them and automatically follow the inviter.
Loops is working on this!
Simple, yet powerful, and privacy friendly 🚀
