What is a good strategy for new instances? (lemmy.world)

When creating a new instance or picking a instance to join, what is a good strategy that the user could follow?

Geolocation? Language? Subject?

I think that instances kind of naturally grow to "group" a specific subset of communities, but I may be completely wrong.

Any thoughts on that are highly appreciated.

I wish the instances were more "country" or content oriented. In a sense, the Lemmy NSFW does a really great job...

It'll come. This is just the first blat of stuff people have shit out.

Said it elsewhere, I'm looking forward to a gaming-oriented instance cropping up that can collate all the otherwise tiny gaming communities together to encourage cross-pollination and growth.

There are country-oriented instances. Off the top of my head there's Feddit.nl, Feddit.de, Feddit.uk, Sopuli, Lemmy.ca, and SJW. I'm sure there are more.

For your content-oriented instances you've got instances like Programming.dev and the Star Trek instance.
