Sync had Lemmy.world as the default instance to register a new account (might still be the case, I’m not sure). One of the factors for sure.
So does Voyager, Raccoon, and Eternity. Everything is just defaulting to it and it’s infuriating.
Trying to think of any place that didn’t/doesn’t default to them
Maybe boost? I’m not certain as I logged my first account on liftoff
The dev really needs to change that then.
Perhaps have a system of selecting randomly from a set of hand-picked general purpose instances at sign-up, where having less people gives it a higher chance of being picked (if it’s of at least a certain size of course, to prevent spam etc)
Agree, but easier said than done
I’m a programmer and it really is quite easy to implement lol
The issue is not about the implementation, but the filter: which criteria do you use to select instances that are eligible for the pool of instances? I’m genuinely asking because I think it takes some time to have a look on instances for people to make the best choice.
You’re overthinking it. Select a few of the popular ones and be done with it
