The instances that make you fill out a questionnaire and perform interviews make me lol.

Ain't nobody wanna do that.

I agree, this is a big problem with future Fediverse adoption, and a big reason why servers like lemmy.world are unfortunately so big. Not only does it limit the ability for new people to sign up but it limits the pool of existing users and interaction significantly, especially when the majority of servers do it.

I wish more people would publicly discuss this problem and that efforts would be made to make more servers instant-signup friendly.

Eh, for topic specific instances who want to attract a specific set of users, I can totally understand why they would do that. Those probably shouldn't be the go-to instances we recommend to random Redditors though.
