SurfSurf – Join the Surf Beta Waitlist

@surf Does anyone have a clue how long someone stays on the waitlist before being invited to join?

@finallycanuck @surf I can help you with that! :) If you want, I can give you an invite code that can get you in sooner. Just give me a DM.

@finallycanuck @surf I signed up and got a reply within an hour with invite code. Shouldn't take long.

@surf Hi!

I reported to your support email that I can't connect with either my Mastodon account or my GoToSocial account (which isn't in the dropdown).

I got a reply that Surf doesn't support either GoToSocial or Pixelfed and when I then went back to the app to check if I could now log into my Mastodon instance, my Mastodon instance was gone from the instance dropdown.

Did you think my Mastodon instance was a Pixelfed instance?

Anyway, I'd like to use your app but you apparently don't support all Mastodon instances.

And my support email didn't even say the word "Pixelfed" so I have no idea why support assumed that.

So anyway, first onboarding and customer support assessment: Could be a lot better.

@oli Hey, thanks for reaching out! While we don’t currently support GoToSocial, it’s something we’re looking into as we continue learning in our early beta. Your message helped bring it to our attention, so we really appreciate the feedback! Also, I realize my mention of Pixelfed may have caused some confusion—sorry about that. Let us know if we can assist with onboarding a supported account.

@FlipboardCS It was my mistake submitting two issues as part of one ticket.

But the issue is simple enough: oliphant.social is a Mastodon instance. It used to be in the dropdown of available instances, but whenever I'd try to log in it would say "Ooops, did you spell this correctly?"

After I reported an issue logging in, oliphant.social dropped off the list altogether. I was never given an explanation as to why the Mastodon instance wasn't working, it just got removed entirely and then I got the message about GTS/Pixelfed.

@oli It's my bad for being confused on the ticket. Glad we connected again. I wrote back on the support ticket, mind if we continue there?
