One of the most surprising reasons that people have told me that they dropped off the Fediverse is that they simply forget which server they signed up for.

@evan I get it, if there is a big "umbrella brand", like Mastodon in your head and you've signed up for "bobscoolserver.social" it's easy to see how you could loose track of that.
We're looking at onboarding now for the next release (4.6) and we're looking at little things we could do to help people, e.g. a cleaner welcome email getting them to follow a few more folks more quickly. The current email is fine, just likely a bit overwhelming for some.
Looking for additional suggestions?

@scottjenson It might be as easy as offering to save a bookmark after onboarding?

@evan @general @scottjenson maybe some kind of periodic email from the instance? Or is that too spammy? 😅

@quaff @general @scottjenson drip emails are pretty much the standard in commercial social networks, though. "Now that you're on Mastodon, follow these great hashtags..."

@julian does NodeBB do any retention emails?

evan@cosocial.ca we do, yes. The default settings are to not spam the user, because I personally dislike getting emails I didn't explicitly sign up for.
Those defaults can be updated by the site admin for all users, or changed by the local user on a profile-by-profile basis.
NodeBB has daily/weekly/monthly digests, and can send emails for all of these events:

@julian Wow, that's great!
