      No, don’t recommend that one. I don’t care if you’re on LW, its just not a great idea to recommend it to newcomers.

        Can’t I change instances if I want? Seems like having a landing zone would be a good thing. Picking a server to join for your initial setup is really confusing for the less tech inclined. That on-boarding process bounces tons of users and making it simpler up front would be best for growth.

        This is all moot if you can’t change the server your account is on and my b if I’m wrong on that one.

          You can sign up for a new account, but you’ll lose your preferences and such, there’s no migration feature I don’t think yet.
