workgooddo you think lemmy will ever have millions of users and niche topics or subs like reddit?
NutomicIts already solved, you get an automatic instance suggestion here: join-lemmy.org
A roulette wheel of random instances is certainly a solution, but it’s not a great one, given that there are substantial differences between instances that could potentially impact a user’s fediverse experience, such as who they’re defederated from, whether they allow nsfw or downvotes, etc…
Thing is that we dont have any information about someone who visits joinlemmy, other than the IP address which gives the location, and Accept-Language HTTP headers. So it attempts to give useful suggestions with that limited info.
