I didn't even know that instances
could be defederated until you mentioned it above (although, it makes sense). That at least does seem kinda reddit-y.

On that note, went to Spoutible yesterday just to see what the signup experience was like. Picked a name, hit join, got a welcome email with code, now I'm a member. Took all of 30 seconds. I get that it's not the same thing as Mastodon, but that's what signing up to Mastodon needs to be like if they want it to take off with the average Jane & Joe. From the post that
kieran links to it sounds like they're working towards that.
