Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

Personally, I would be irritated to be signed up for an instance I didn't choose and may not be what I like, especially if the app hid the fact that I had a choice.
Maybe instead of asking which instance, we could do some sort of categorization and ask in which topics someone is interested and the instance chosen based on that?
I think many people quickly get lost on the term instance and what it means.
You just need to segment the choice. First you choose between just sign me up or advanced choose you instance, then you switch to either the traditional setup or the hold your hand setup depending on that choice.
And to which instance(s) would you redirect the user in easy mode?
