For all new users: I’d recommend picking an instance that:
-Is geographically close to you first
-Has the same “moral compass” as you (ie if they allow NSFW content or are defederated from instances that has sensitive content)
-That isn’t hammered by too many new users
It’s not that hard to check out this info, usually after a day or two on Lemmy you’ll figure these things out.

Is there a good resource/wiki on what instances are out there?
https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
ljdawson should add this instead of lemmy.world
https://join-lemmy.org/instances and https://lemmyverse.net/ are good starting points.
