When creating a new instance or picking a instance to join, what is a good strategy that the user could follow?

Geolocation? Language? Subject?

I think that instances kind of naturally grow to “group” a specific subset of communities, but I may be completely wrong.

Any thoughts on that are highly appreciated.

    Each instance is run by different administrators that broadly influence the content on their instance - if the instance you picked to join up with goes bad, it could be defederated from and, on the smaller scale, may have people judging your account for being made there.
