I’ll defer to you given I don’t do outreach while you do. Honestly an ideal would just be a simple website that chooses a random instance from a list of known good instances and takes them through the sign up process.
The issue is that good instances are probably going to be influenced by the user location, and there aren’t that many Piefed instances at the moment anyway to really have alternatives on the same continent
I don’t see why it’d have to be limited to Piefed instances and we can do certain heuristics to test if an instance is good for a user’s location (Piefed’s instance chooser does this).
I personally prefer to point people to Piefed nowadays for the comments consolidation feature alone. Discussion split across multiple communities is an issue raised a lot in the Reddit thread linked in the OP, and comments consolidation allows to solve this.
