A lot of people start off on a major instance, then after finding and vibing with another instance, can move to that.
There's tons of tools and things that allow for transfer of subscriptions and everything else so changing instances isn't a big deal.
The important thing is to get them on Lemmy first.
I guess so, but I really think we should recommend another instance this time around.
What if you recommended a smaller instance and they get hugged to death and it ruins the experience for everyone else on that instance?
Though, to be fair, world is already pretty hammered
Hasn’t happened yet when I did that with Lemmy.cafe.
The small instances can take in 10s of thousands of users before being strained.
Yep, I wouldn't recommend tiny ones, the medium sized ones seem to be able to scale enough.
You can always throw them into the deep end and tell them to check out hexbear
