It doesn't help that most instances are named/marketed as being for a specific subset of people. Like French, Canadian, LGBTQ, NSFW, US midwest, etc etc. Lemmy.world is generic enough to appeal to most new users.
you have Lemmy saying, "join anywhere!", but then all the instances are like "only join here if you are X, Y, or Z!". It is understandably confusing for new people.
Exactly. Such things are only relevant for "local" content.
We need some regional americas instances, and more topical nodes like !startrek@startrek.website running their own whole instance.
