@[email protected] has been very kind to build a new GUI from scratch and make it easily hostable. So I've done just that and deployed a version that I control under gui.fediseer.com

Yes someone has to guarantee for you first. This is how the chain of trust works. Unfortunately instances which have open registrations and not even an email validation are prime spam targets, so many people don't feel comfortable guaranteeing for them

Ah I had thought instances would all guarantee each other, then you'd look for an unbroken chain from an instance you trust to one you're checking. It seems you start from one central one and grow from there, I think I get it now.
