A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

I'd say an instance finder feature should be created where you rank priorities and it selects a (few?) best instance(s). It could have a default setting to prefer instances with lots of connections, then locality of the server to you, then prioritize smaller servers. Something like that would be a good automatic option, because it would spread people out and optimize performance.
Yes that's pretty much what I've been thinking as well, this CAN be implemented, but it needs to be implemented well and dumbed down to the maximum for an integration on join-lemmy.
There could also be more complex tools for users that have a better understanding where you can really tailor your feed with weighed inputs like how much politics do you want, remove US-centric communities, explore hobbies, etc etc. (I'm dreaming but the possibilities are wild).
That's the cool thing about the Fediverse, over time it can develop in multiple directions at once, not just what one CEO wants to do. There's enough internet for everyone to get what they want.
