How do people decide which instance to be on? How do you work through confusion of same acct names on different instances? Should we namestake on every instance we can and see which one seems best suited to us? How did you pick?

@nancybaym Hello! I can see the potential for instances to be set up based on mutual interest (kinda like Usenet groups), but I can't see how the casual user can navigate that simply and be able to curate a feed. The lack of shared namespace is definitely a thing!
