@FediTips@social.growyourown.services We can't be telling people β€œdon't worry too much about all that server stuff for now” and also β€œoh you don't know if your account was on mstdn.social or mas.to, then you're just outta luck sorry”.

We also know that asking fedi newcomers to pick their own server does not work. Your suggestion addresses this point.

My conclusion is that having a default server for all newbies (not invited by a friend) is the best practical approach. Somewhere people can get their bearings.

@julian@fietkau.social feels like a very simple way to make sure people can find out what server their account is on is to either send them an email or have a "forgot your server" entry that enables them to search fedi for their username.
If that is really a problem that is cited as an answer to the rotating server idea, I think it's a non-issue.

"is to either send them an email "

This is the thing, literally every person who signs up on Mastodon gets an email telling them the name of their server.
