Lemmy has the same issue as Mastodon: what instance do I join?
When looking at the "migrate from Reddit" page the two obvious ones are lemmy.world and beehaw.org. But now they don't federate with each other, so it's down to more special-interest and smaller instances where it's not really clear what some of the rules might be, just to be able to see posts from both of these bigger instances.
The comparison is always made to picking a place for your email where Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail were all "the same", but that's not really true for federated social networks. There's quite a bit more mod actions that could significantly influence your reach or experience with the wider fediverse.
