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?

Lemmy has a huge onboarding problem. Instead of trying to make users learn about instances they should be able to join a default instance directly.
which default instance?
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".
