I think these long explainations of instances and federation are really not necessary. It should just say "pick a server and start browsing. You'll be able to see everything*."
"*If you really want to get into the weeds, blah blah blah."
It’s like how there aren’t articles comparing email options. We all just kinda picked an email site and stuck with it until something goes wrong and then pick the next one. No one’s really investing time in debating ones over the others or trying to convert others to Team Hotmail or somethin.
But a negative consequence of that was the centralisation of email providers.
