I like the way Voyager does it:

DeltaChat also has a very easy onboarding process: you just put your name, and that's it. The app creates the password in the background and allows you to switch servers easily. That really helps with onboarding new joiners.

Piefed.zip could be a nice default choice. If there are others you see, feel free to suggest.

As for a specific instance, maybe point to medium-sized servers, so bigger ones don't get more stressed than they already are, and the user isn't greeted by a barren default feed were they to join a smaller one?

I for one value a bit of a barrier to entry on my social media. It's not like new users are being tasked with anything difficult. It ensures the community members here are, at the very least, literate.

Shouldn't the closest server be suggested?

If they are too stubborn or ignorant to choose a server they should stay away IMO. I don't want another reddit.
