Problem is that a) new users don’t know that they can join communities across servers, and b) it is intuitive use start with the servers that a lot of people like.

Instance browsing and onboarding is probably the biggest challenge to Lemmy’s growth. The current experience either scares new people away, or encourages them to congregate on a limited set of instances.

How's it work if I get banned from one instance? Yet I can still comment in that instance I got banned from? No clue how that works

If you get banned from your home instance, you're banned everywhere.

If you get banned on a different instance, you can no longer post/comment/vote in communities there but otherwise you're fine.
