Whenever barrier to entry is discussed for lemmy, and reducing confusion for different servers is brought up, all of the isolationist comments come out of the woodwork.

Apparently redditors who are too dumb to register should stay on reddit?

We have a platform that seems to be working and slowly growing. Shouldnt we want good defaults in place to give the best possible experience with minimal user effort?

    Thanks.

    I was frustrated because it seemed like people didnt want more people here, which is what prompted the post.

    If we do agree we want more people here then im happy.

    I mean honestly maybe this is a good project for me after im not so busy. I dont think we need to parse every new user to an ideal instance, but have a starting instance. Simple as that. Treat lemmy as if it were one website without additional instances and the only thing that would drive people to move from the default instance is their own motivation to customize their experience. So yes it would be a very simple, but inherently biased sign up.

    Personally i would love to understand better what instances are viewable to other instances to help make such a tool but i havent set out to research that myself.

    Sorry i dont have time to discuss further today, i appreciate your comment.
