I'd recommend a smaller community to help spread the load. I originally signed up on .world but they were having some growing pains (And a disgruntled idiot ddosing them) so I moved to .ca which helped tremendously.
I really disagree. For learning lemmy for average people, big instance is best.
There is a point where people who stick around are likely to make a new "real" account on a different smaller server, after they know what they want to browse.
Basically big instances should be like training wheels.

Yeah tbh this is how I did it and I consider myself tEcH sAvVy - still started with .world because I didn't know where else to go.
I went to iusearchlinux.fyi and came back to .world about a week ago. It seems to be doing very well now.
You need to know the special password for .ca
Is it "sorry"?
„Eh“
Dot see eh?
I'm Canadian anyway, so I have it memorized.
Hello Canadian, I’m maple syrup!
We may be related, I'm 40% maple.
I see! I’m actually 33% polar bear and 66% maple, we may be not so distant cousins!
