You are right we shouldn’t explain federation. But tell them for example with PieFed, they can watch peertube video, comment to mastodon group…but not federation. For me, it is the strongest point of the fediverse.

As for the instance, it would be great if they have an instance picker : what are your language ? Favorite topic ? Then give them several instance.

Yes but the problem is the centralization and they may want an instance with their own language and culture. I think LW is too big and should be redistributed to other instance. But it is also a good starting pack. :)

I wouldn’t recommand lemmy.world there are lot instance they can pick up 😅
