It doesn't need to be, as long as there is also a proper default for those who don't care. Lemmy and Mastodon both unfortunately lacked this during the periods where they both had the most opportunity to grow.

Nowadays Mastodon does it pretty well. Users don't need to know anything, they just download Mastodon from the app store and register on the instance it chooses by default.
