Comment on How about during the signup process(step) the user gets instance allocated randomly?
Berin@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks agoYeah, the biggest problem with this approach is different moderation philosophies. You would have to set up a vetted set of approved non-problematic instances. I’ve read several accounts of people who tried out fedi and left soon after, and nothing sours the newcomer experience more than unknowingly joining an instance with a toxic community/moderators

No instance will be perfect, but I think lemm.ee, lemmy.zip, and lemmy.sdf.org could be good candidates for generic instances to recommend. All in the top 20 instances, so they are decently well federated, but not centralizing to the largest instance (LemmyWorld).

Lemmy.sdf.org are still on 0.19.3, seems like they aren’t following updates that closely.
They also had issues this week with federation: lemmy.sdf.org/post/21675044?scrollToComments=true

Ah, good catch. Any alternative you would recommend instead?

lemmy.dbzer0.com ? Very solid instance, neutral name, no country or language attached.
