I like what Isopod did, linking them directly to a instance.
The only way to catch the average joe is to hold their hand and get them to content as quickly as possible. While linking them to the largest instances may not be the healthiest for decentralization, it’s going to give newcomers the best experience.
A lot of redditors, I’d even say the majority now-a-days, use the app. While a lot of the Lemmy apps are great. I wish there was one that guided you through the entire signup process.
Isn’t there one already on [email protected] ?
Do you mean this one?
If yes: that FAQ is a good start, but it’s mostly help for people already registered. I was thinking on something to clarify how Lemmy works for people who are considering to register on it. Stuff like:
If there’s something already in this direction we could/should advertise it a bit more, and if it doesn’t I’m seriously considering to start it.
What about this pinned post on [email protected] ?

As usual fxomt doing a great job with this stuff! I’ll probably suggest some stuff to add to the FAQ, like the question in the OOP.
