Yeah, pointing people to individual instances seems to be the most effective way of getting them to try out whatever we call this place. They can learn how it works later.
Seems the confusion was the many people referring to Lemmy the project as Lemmy the service. And it was cleared up when the discussion moved to instance as the service and apps for the service.
