(I develop Manyverse) Onboarding in SSB is invite-driven and thus is at odds with safety. If you want to "find people" easily, and easily join the network, then this means that any harasser can also do the same. Improving Onboarding while not sacrificing Sustainability and Safety is my top priority and there are several protocol advancements being worked on, more information here: https://gitlab.com/staltz/manyverse/-/wikis/Starchart/

None of the docs I found said that.

And we could get on to the network and join pubs. Only there was nothing in there. We should also have been able to invite each other and follow each other's posts, as we were both using devices on the same wifi, but that just silently failed.

A week or so later the iphone app rolled out an update with a patch note saying something along the lines of "whoops, new signups went to the test servers instead of prod by mistake" which _may_ explain some of it. But going back in to the app after the fix was no better.

Are you talking about Planetary social?

Probably, yes. I don't remember which client I tried, but that's showing as a previously installed app that's no longer on my phone.
