Just noticed that unlike mastodons join page, lemmy doesn’t have a “join” or “create an account” button. It’d be nice to have one, it would be more straightforward to join.

Or perhaps there is a reason why it doesn’t exist?

      It should choose a general instance, based on region and if not possible to pinpoint by IP, it should be a curated list of instances of which it just chooses one by random.

      Preferable a smaller rotating "general’ instance such as zip or sdf to prevent the clustering around large instances.

      A major issue is accounts are bound to instances. It would be amazing if there was a way to migrate accounts from one instance to another if a user so desires later on.

      Another major issue is there are no real instances where the admins are not actively trying to enforce a certain political point of view from the top down which means there are no “real general instances”.
