I am helping a friend try to find the right #mastodon instance for them to get started. This seems to be the mystery and the major hurdle to cross for new users to take the leap into the #fediverse.
Does anyone have any advice for how someone completely new can do this? I've tried simply searching online and it's a hot mess of server names with meager (if any) details

@stefan just recently put together a welcome to the fediverse resource list but my bookmarks are a mess and I can’t find it now

@Alien_Sunset Thank you for tagging me!
@va Yes, I did recently write https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/how-to-join-mastodon/, which addresses this challenge in its first section, with some hopefully helpful links.

@stefan @Alien_Sunset
Perfect! I look forward to reading this. Thank you for compiling everything!

@va My pleasure! Hope your friend will give the fediverse a try, and enjoy their stay!
