Mastodon: make the about/more link stand out on the login/signup page

Created on 16 Apr 2018  路  4Comments  路  Source: tootsuite/mastodon

I keep pointing people with questions to the about/more page, and they keep saying they didn't realize the page was there. Can we please make this link MUCH more obvious for new and old users alike?

I think you should leave the default "the rules of the service" text where it is, and add a second link/button under the signup, or in the short blurb about the instance. (such as "to learn more about this instance....")

we're putting a ton of great info in our about/more pages... let's make it stand out and easier to find.

Yes, I've been working on the community guidelines and overall intro stuff for an instance and we really want this up front as much as possible.

also i recently got a friend to sign up, and they didn't know how to follow someone from another instance. they went to the faq page, but they found it took them 45 minutes to find the info. i went and had a look and the relevant things (how to actually social) are almost at the bottom, below a big glossary.

if i need to make this a new github issue i can, it just seemed relevant because both are part of the first-time experience being frustrating.

I think this is a duplicate of New start page makes it really hard to find the CoC #6612 - could discussion continue over there?
