The join page is definitely the issue. I had already joined lemmy.ml before I read that they were encouraging people to join other instances. Perhaps I should have read the page more closely, but if it was that big of an issue, make the warning/request more prevalent.
I’ve seen this suggested elsewhere but a centralized “sign up wizard” website would be really useful for new users. Something that holds your hand through the process and explains each step. It could have you pick an instance by showing the list of federated ones, and would then hand you off to that website for the actual sign up process.
Yeah, we shouldn't fear centralized solutions when this is the type of solution they are solving
