Sync had Lemmy.world as the default instance to register a new account (might still be the case, I'm not sure). One of the factors for sure.

The dev really needs to change that then.

Perhaps have a system of selecting randomly from a set of hand-picked general purpose instances at sign-up, where having less people gives it a higher chance of being picked (if it's of at least a certain size of course, to prevent spam etc)

Agree, but easier said than done

I'm a programmer and it really is quite easy to implement lol

The issue is not about the implementation, but the filter: which criteria do you use to select instances that are eligible for the pool of instances? I'm genuinely asking because I think it takes some time to have a look on instances for people to make the best choice.

You're overthinking it. Select a few of the popular ones and be done with it
