Looking beyond Mastodon.social and Mastodon.online, our big project to support the Mastodon network of #fediverse servers this year is a series of experiments to replace the `join mastodon.social` button with a button that recommends a server running default Mastodon from an opt-in pool that we will be hand-selecting to start.

We're also going to work on the #ServerDirectory this year. This starts with moving the directory to a new pull-request-based system so admins can submit, update, or remove entries themselves. Another change we want to make is to add more and new ways to “classify” different types of servers including demographics, interests, and geographic regions. Once we have that kind of information, we can start to explore new ways to incorporate it into the onboarding process. Stay tuned...
