I think this (lack of politics) already exists to an extent. While you can't avoid politics entirely, they'l always find a way through. Users can join a server dedicated to the topics and/or hobbies they like. Or just with a vibe that they dig. If they like anime, they can join an anime focused server. Video games? Join a gaming server.
On Lemmy I feel the server doesn't matter as much since you can just join communities after account creation and communicate with other servers anyway. Pick the communities that suit you.
Experience for someone joining today and almost leaving Lemmy altogether because the instance they picked was laggy and not federating properly
Typically you do want to join a community with a good amount of users. it doesn't have to be the most popular of instances but if it has few then 100 users then less content might federate onto that specific server.
However, there is a solution to your problem that you described even if your server is federated around as good: One way you can still get those missing servers is by first finding them with this if you find a community you like copy and paste the handler into Lemmy search on your server and then it should come up: (https://lemmyverse.net/communities)
I am aware of the way to solve the issue, but expecting a new joiner who just registered on the platform to copy-paste the communities links from a third-party website to the search to fetch them is unrealistic.
