Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Only fair way to do that is to have large instances close for new accounts, so as more people find Lemmy they'll have to pick the next ones on the list. Making the choice is the hardest part for a new person (most of you probably realize that having done it yourselves) so streamlining that as well would help. Then make migration to other instances with all your "stuff" easy. Perhaps have it so your old account can forward anything to the new one, like email and regular mail can do. The bloated and centralized instances are just a byproduct of an unforeseen growth explosion and can be rectified, plus help future development.
Account migration would definitely help. Most new users just go with the largest server because of FOMO and not understanding fully what federation is yet. Once they are comfortable enough, providing the ability to transfe their account to another instance would definitely be useful. Mastodon already allows you to do that.
eh, picking an instance wasn't too bad for me. I already knew how federation worked, though, so I suppose that was helpful. I just picked one that wasn't too big (cryptocurrency mining has centralization issues too and i knew a bit about that so i knew not to pick the biggest), and had reasonable rules.
