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?
Perhaps if the differences between servers could be codified into one place then someone could create a “quiz” to help users narrow in on servers that are a good fit. Like this website: https://www.dumbphones.org/dumbphone-quiz
They already have a quiz on join-lemmy.org. they ask for interest and language, and filter instances based on that.
Granted the filtering could be better, as the top one recommended to me was sopulu.xyz. I like the Fins, but I can’t speak any of the language. I had to scroll down about 10 to get to lemmy.world
Yeah, I think those two definitely aren’t enough. Plus asking for an interest doesn’t make a lot of sense coming over from Reddit. Most people aren’t looking to join a server for only interest because they’re used to being in subreddits for various interests
