The join lemmy instance page really needs a revamp (lemmy.world)

The number of Lemmy instances are growing and the list on join-lemmy is getting bigger and bigger. There are too many instances on the page and it is hard for new user to find which instance is suitable for them.

In my opinion, the instances should be categorized on the basis of the region, topic, etc. Something also should be done to promote smaller instances and reduce the traffic on the main instance and lemmy.world instance.

Mastodon categorizes the instances and gives a brief overview of each instance.

I believe Dessa said during the AMA that he's working on it.

You're right. The devs know it can be confusing to new guys and are planning to do something about it. Idk what the progress is, though. They seem to be pretty busy making lemmy stable first.

It’s probably more important to fix stability issues before working on improving the onboarding experience. If people join and the experience is unstable, they may never come back. I think a lot of this reddit migration has been people that are used to being early adopters, that are more technologically-minded. We’re used to things being a bit more jank, and we’re happy to beta-test. Establishing a solid foundation now should be the first priority.
