It's too bad there isn't a way to just have one location for everyone to create an account, like a lemmy.com, and then the last step during account creationg is to select your preferred instance for the account, maybe from like a drop down list that has a small blurb about the rules and expectations for that instance and a list of top 10 hosted communities, and maybe even a random choice option, and then you can go back to that main area to switch your instance later if need be.

When I first found Lemmy, it was through https://join-lemmy.org/ which is similar to what you are describing.

Though it recommended me to join lemmy.ml, and apparently it's a controversial one, so I don't know if that worked out well...

That's how I got in! Lemm.ee does just fine.

But yea, perhaps we could chat to the heads of lemmy.world to maybe pin an announcement to help other instances and help decentralisation. I wouldn't be surprised if they would agree to do that for the greater good.

I think historical data supports they wouldnt agree to stuff for the greater good, but idr that well so I could be wrong

Yeah you left out the hours of research to figure out what each instance is actually about and the years of abuse and power trips that have occured under different leadership, and also the dropdown includes defederated instances.

I started on blahaj, but they are NOT an inclusive and healthy LGBTQ community so I had to move but I didn't want to go through all the effort again so I joined .world

If you thought .world is more LGBTQ friendly than Blahaj you must be smoking the good stuff.
