It’s my philosophy that going around, uninformed and uninitiated, and even getting burned a few times is a great way, and possibly the best way, to discover where you really belong on Lemmy. I believe it to be a formative and even a necessary experience.
That’s really my advice for how to find the “correct instance for you”. Everyone here got there by trial and error, and I believe it is a formative enough experience that everyone should go through it. Once it became extremely easy to join Reddit, that’s when it started to go to shit.
It is (nearly) impossible to join and participate in Lemmy if you are a tech-illiterate moron. By the very fact that anyone is here means that everyone at least has a middling level of tech literacy and is somewhat intelligent, or else they would not only never have heard of Lemmy, and would not have been able to figure out how to join. Reddit used to be like that, once upon a time.
