How does join-lemmy.org pick recommended instances? (join-lemmy.org)

Currently it's recommending sopuli.xyz, an instance i've never heard of that requires applications to join, and beehaw, an instance that defederated from the other large instances.

That seems like a very poor front page for lemmy to get people to actually join and interact. I think a lot would probably think it goes against the philosophy to recommend a big instance like lemmy.world. But that's the least confusing to new people

Both of those are pretty big instances. Beehaw's defederation of some of the other large instances was only temporary as they didn't want to mod users from other instances that completely open sign up processes. They're back to federating with a bunch of those instances now that those instances require email at the very least.

lots of momentum for big instances, most arent seeing how that drives us to the same problems we have already had.
