There is no wrong one, just pick any.

Sorry, but "there is no wrong one" is how people end up on lemmy.ml
lemmy.ml is nothing. Randomly choosing a server might mean you end up in poa.st
I have now been reminded that poast exists again :(.
Didn't join-lemmy advertise exploding-heads to some people, and they didn't remove it at first because they reasoned it would attract rascists, so they wouldn't go to other servers?
It's a start. Getting people onto the fediverse is the first and most important step. Once they find out it's not "scary", they can then re-evalute their server. I've created multiple account on different servers and this is the most active one as some of the others have been banned or forgotten about.
There's no need to start putting our opinions on people's choices. No, don't take that server because I disagree with their moderation style. No, don't pick that server because it's too much of that topic. And definitely don't pick that server because it's too small, and you're in the wrong region, and you probably won't fit in, and and and.
Honestly just tell them to sign up on an instance that matches their interest (if you know one) or a general instance (for most people, likely "yours" will do, idk fedia.io), they can worry about a new server once they figure out why they'd need one. I started on .ml myself like 4y ago and as soon as db0 existed I switched, for instance, once I learned .ml were tankies (well, I still had to wait because it was either them, germans, or midwest back then lol, but ykwim.)
