Blaze is doing precisely that - recommending lemm.ee, several initial communities to check out, the Voyager app, etc.
Edit: A major downside to recommending lemm.ee though is that it federates with literally all of the big 3. So someone can walk into e.g. chapotraphouse@hexbear.net without knowing the first thing about what to expect there, followed promptly by leaving Lemmy altogether. Due to lemm.ee's approach of making everything "opt-out" rather than "opt-in" it takes quite a bit of catching up to understand things e.g. what "instances" are and how to block users from them (Pro-Tip: in either base Lemmy or Voyager, you literally cannot do it, though PieFed, Sync, or Connect each offer that capability). It's a bit like having an email account that offers no spam filtering!? Which is fine if that's what people want but doesn't seem geared for "mainstream" Redditors who want to come here "casually".
For those, if PieFed was a bit better developed in its UI it would be perfect. Lemmy.cafe also looks like a great option (Tesseract on dubvee.org too except I think it's only a single admin, and yet quite impressive nonetheless, though toxic people from Reddit would have a terrible & short-lived time there hehe:-P).
A ban from dubvee is a lemmy participation medal
I've heard that some people don't like him but nobody will tell me why, as in did he do something intentionally, accidentally, or otherwise? Can you send me something to read? (Always whenever I ask, I get no reply - but I'm interested in learning so that I don't spread misinformation?)
I and many others never heard of the instance until we got banned from it 🤣
Oh wow. Can you send me a screenshot? What I'm getting at: is there any possibility that it could have been unintentional?
