Idk why, but this sounds like an advertisement so much :)

As I understand there is currently no option to migrate your account between instances. Probably if this is implemented then the burden of the instance choice becomes light

Well, I wouldn’t say that the problem is lessened by a list on the Github, it was just me happy that it even exists. All because oftentimes there is simply no meaningful documentation behind some things I have to work with :)

It will probably be easier if there was default “simple registration mode”, where it just guides you through registration on one of the static or random “general purpose multilingual instance”. And “advanced mode”, where you are supplied with lists and you are on your own.

There are nice lists of servers, like at join lemmy and awesome lemmy instances at github. Though I will agree that going through decision making at the very beginning of the dive into the lemmy might be detracting. Even as a rather tech savvy person I did use lemmy read-only for some time, as I could not make decision which instance to choose :)
