It took a few days for instances to be upgraded and admins to fill in their profiles but it's looking much healthier now!

What does newbie friendly mean? What would make an instance not newbie friendly?

    An instance with 3 or more topics is newbie friendly. Topics are bundles of communities that are shown to new accounts during their initial on-boarding and by choosing some topics they automatically join all the communities in those topics.

    I'm finding that pretty much every instance has 3 or more so this filter is not so useful, except to exclude development and testing instances. I'm not sure where we'll end up on that.

    I think this would benefit from admin input for the newbie value.

    My instance, being around anarchy and complex social and political topics, is NOT newbie friendly. I would think having a way for admins to rate their instance, and potentially a text field to explain why/why not would be useful.
