I always point new users to Lemm.ee nowadays.

Most people are not interested in moderating their own feed. Leading people to an instance that does very little moderation on the defederation side of things could push them away. In that situation, they are likely to just leave the fediverse altogether and less likely to go to another instance I would say. I respect lemm.ee as an instance but I would not recommend it as a "gateway drug" to the fediverse.

The issue is that

  • LW is too big
  • SJW has a non neutral name
  • Lemmy.ca advertised itself as Canadian
  • Feddit.org has a meta community in German

There is Lemmy.zip, but they are also very light on defederation. Lemmy.dbzer0 blocks lemmygrad but still federates with hexbear

Do you have any other suggestion?

Yea... I get what you mean. There isn't really an instance that is "not zero defederation"-moderated and general enough for all people if you take out lemmy.world. That's honestly kind of surprising, it feels like a niche that more players could fill. But I guess that's how lemmy.world got as big as it did.

If you had to give one suggestion, maybe. But still, any instance matching geographical location or a specific of your interest would be better.

Indeed, but the thing is generally, people just one want URL, and that's it.

You'll see a comment on how to join Lemmy, in this kind of scenario I just give one link
