MODERATORS
Best thing Lemmy signups could do is ask "What's your primary interest?" And randomly select an instance that has that category.
What if I don't want to immediately pigeonhole myself into one specific niche?
As a non-LGTB / non-furry / neurotypical / multiple-interest-having / boring-ass white guy in his forties, there really isn't a sub-sub-microcommunity for me.
And picking these communities is like throwing a political sign in your front yard, saying, "HEY! I know there are some people out there who hate this stuff! Argue with me! Troll me! Make my experience here as terrible as possible!"
That's a bit hyperbolic. You only do that if you join a heavily political instance or subscribe to tons of political communities. Most of the boards aren't like that.
