Merge into Account creation
I'm thinking that it might be better to merge this page with Account creation.
Both pages are very short anyway and I think the info here would fit perfectly into the bullet list of the other page.
Or are there plans to make this page a lot longer?

- OK. I agree.

- I don't agree. I think this page is also useful for instance admins. Being able to look at the feed of an instance gives you good info on if it's worth blocking or not.
- (PS, I hope this is okay, I reformatted the replies in the way it's done on Wikipedia, so it's easier to follow the convo if it gets larger.

- I agree that a How to explore instances page would be good as a separate page, if it shows you how to look at feeds and profile directories of instances. But that's not what this page was about.
- Ah gotcha. Page was gone by the time I had made my account, so must've misremembered the contents.
- I can draft up a page on instance moderation tips if that helps? I noticed the Category:Admin_guide

Restore?
- Yes, Paula, I agree with that. You could restore the article, then you and non-admins can see whether we can improve or update what was there before. People want to know about instances when getting an account but also when considering moving - as those of us on big instances are being encouraged to do.
