Before it gets more love I think it probably needs a flagship instance. Friendica's one of a handful of older fediverse projects where it is legitimately difficult to find an instance to sign up on.

They literally have a Join Friendica link on the guthub.

Ok now go find which of those you'd legitimately recommend to a new user

Venera.social has 1100+ users and open registration. Sounds like as good a place to start as any.

Peertube as far as i can tell does not have a flagship instance, and seems to be doing fairly well, venera.social works better for me then another instance i tried which had random log offs and seems fairly popular.

Peertube absolutely also has this problem but I'm not sure general peertube instances really make sense at this point anyhow. There are a couple of hobby instances but if you're not into that there's not a whole lot you can do.
