They'd of course be able to select instances, I just meant having a random good one selected by default when registering.

By good I mean one that's not too massive, isn't defederating popular instances, and isn't a questionable one that's likely to be defederated itself.

And I don't think they should explain too much, new users are easily scared away.

Indeed. The more frictionless it is, the better! Even giving the impression of some complexity will drive people away.
