I was reading about a browser script that essentially does this; maybe you could get some ideas here

Yup, looks like pretty much exactly what I was considering.
As a matter of fact, the idea of just having a preset list of instances looks really good too. What I might do is this:
We will see how it works out.
Would that json be something the community could contribute to?
The instance list? There are a few publicly available scripts to do this (actually you can visit https://memmy.app/instances.json to see how I'm retrieving the instance info for onboarding. I'm only retrieving a few of them right now while we wait on Apple to review the initial app).
Could just do the same thing for all instances and only retrieve the name and URL for them.
Oh, the script includes a list of known instances that would need to be maintained. I was hoping it was smarter somehow.
