Try out the decentralised Reddit alternative called PieFed, https://piefed.social/  
It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install  

I use it alongside Reddit, and I'm enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over

Some of the biggest complaints people switching over have are

Not sure which server to choose
No onboarding
Too much politics
Trouble logging in
Bad UX/UI (for a lot of people)

PieFed solves all of this, it has good onboarding, login is real easy you can even login with google, during onboarding you can filter out trump/musk spam, UX/UI is lightyears better for your average user, it has de-duplication etc.

The onboarding asks you about your interests and subscribes you to a few communities. It also asks you how much politics you want to see. That's quite better than Lemmy.

And how does it help new users choose a server to sign up to?

To be confirmed with @Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social , but I guess they meant that their comment helps by pointing to that instance.

Being able to recommend the flagship instance of the project is a difference with Lemmy

I believe the Fediverse needs an automated way for the sign up process, something users don't have to think excessively about. I don't believe that just recommending the flagship instance is enough to foster adoption. The same behavior Nextcloud proposes could be useful: https://nextcloud.com/sign-up/

It means to have list of trusted instances, and therefore defining the collective criteria for deciding when an instance can be classified as trusted. I guess the Fediverse community can find a common understanding, as was done for the Fedipact

So something like https://www.pangora.social/join ?

It's different. Better if you prefer following along but worse if you prefer direct control.

For direct control, you can just skip it
