I'd be fine with that, if we can have some sort of HA ranking for the servers out there. To be on the list of random servers they should be able to maintain decent uptime and combat threats and DDOS swiftly. Oh, and be on a non-free and stable DNS domain... that .ml fiasco sucked. Not the server admins fault, but it did suck. Last thing we want are newcomers having their instance disappear. That was my experience... got nestled into my first lemmy home for it to fall to the great .ml purge of 2023. I lamented a week, hoping for it's return... Finally giving up and joining lemmy.world. And while it's nice, it seems to get taken down by attacks a LOT. :(

@HKayn @HR_Pufnstuf A wizard that gives you a random choice based on your interests could be an interesting tool from a UX perspective. Questions to refine down the options could be based on language, specialized vs generalist, categories within specialized, number of users (S, M, L) age of the instance
