This is even fairly easy for (streams) which is a fork of a fork of three forks of a fork (of a fork?) of a fork of Friendica by Friendica's own creator, eleven years after Friendica. And I wouldn't even feel bad about it.
That's because (streams) has only got two public, open-registration instances. If you're in North America, it's Rumbly. If you're in Europe, it's Nomád (with a German veteran admin who also runs two Hubzilla hubs, who is savvy enough to single-handedly re-write Hubzilla's entire help system from scratch in both German and English, and who plans to do the same for (streams)).
And it's because (streams) intentionally keeps itself away from instance-listing websites like Fediverse Observer and FediDB, so being railroaded to any one specific instance is just about the only chance you have to get into (streams).
Granted, it has a learning curve that's even steeper than Friendica's. It doesn't have a UI/UX that looks like $10M of VC. And there's no way whatsoever to use (streams) with any kind of dedicated, native mobile Fediverse app, especially not its own official iPhone app named "Streams" that looks like $20M of VC.
