Unfortunately I think that bed has been shat, because everyone wants to be a general purpose instance. Nobody wants to be sportslemmy or musiclemmy or movielemmy where they only host communities that match their theme, which is why we have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]…
So “Join an instance for a community you’re interested in”…not sure if that’s tenable on Mastodon but it sure ain’t on Lemmy.

I think we’re just kinda early. Having redundant communities is good for resiliency.
Honestly you could pick 3 and tell people “these are all fine choices, pick one at random”
