For those that weren't there for the mastadon growth, it came is several waves. the reddit blackout begins tomorrow 6/12. Are the Lemmy sysadmins expecting a second wave of growth? If so how big?

I would go one step further, not just a wizard that will explain. But maybe some “magic” that asks you a few questions, perhaps political orientation and how is your point towards specific topics. And will automatically choose an instance for you. Of course, this should be just something for new users and one that don't actually care much about the federation concept. This could lead to a much better distribution of users. Some manual “tagging” of instances have to be done, but should be achievable. Best in a native app and maybe as well on the website.

Because based on your orientation towards specific (ideological) topics, you most likely will have problems regarding the moderation and content policies.
