Problem is that a) new users don’t know that they can join communities across servers, and b) it is intuitive use start with the servers that a lot of people like.

Instance browsing and onboarding is probably the biggest challenge to Lemmy’s growth. The current experience either scares new people away, or encourages them to congregate on a limited set of instances.

How's it work if I get banned from one instance? Yet I can still comment in that instance I got banned from? No clue how that works

Just joining in, and what will happen if the instance you created your account on decides to stop running. Does your account just dissapear?

Yes. But it is easy as hell to set up on another instance or even throw up your own.
