[UX] On instance with closed registration suggest to create an account on different mobilizon instance to register
I have a feedback from a colleague.
He wanted to register for an event hosted on a instance on which the signup is closed, so I suggested that Mobilizon is federated and that he could find another instance on https://instances.joinmobilizon.org/, signup there and then register with that federated identity. I also suggested that he contact the organizer so that they would configure the event to be registered by guest accounts.
My two UX suggestions :
- on an event page, or on the "Participate" page (https://example.org/events/id/participate/with-account) add 3rd option with a suggestion about creating an account on an open registration instance from https://instances.joinmobilizon.org/
- on an event page have a way to notify the organizer that you can't "register" to the event since the instance doesn't have signup activated. And maybe that could be a warning in the admin interface for organizers
Hope this feedback helps. Glad to see Mobilizon is reaching a wider audience !
