If you're telling someone about Lemmy, what link do you send them? (lemm.ee)

This post is inspired by a conversation I had with another user earlier that, after some reflection, raised an interesting point.

When telling a user about Lemmy, trying to bring them into the fold if you will, what would be the best go to link? Think of reddit.com/r/all, but for Lemmy.

In theory, any instance will work as long as it has a large enough user base to have people subscribed to other large isntances, but having a solid landing page to point new users towards definitely has some merit.

Thoughts?

This is a very good idea, because new users will be very confused when picking an instance. Many people will fear picking the wrong instance (and some will stop and not pick an instance at all). Even though on Lemmy it really does not matter that much on what instance you are.
