How does join-lemmy.org pick recommended instances? - eviltoast

Currently it’s recommending sopuli.xyz, an instance i’ve never heard of that requires applications to join, and beehaw, an instance that defederated from the other large instances.

That seems like a very poor front page for lemmy to get people to actually join and interact. I think a lot would probably think it goes against the philosophy to recommend a big instance like lemmy.world. But that’s the least confusing to new people
