Isn’t the main obstacle for people migrating to Lemmy is the “signup”? Would it be impactful if someone creates a dummy proof guide, including a list of equivalent communites <-> subreddit?

I think that it would, specially if hosted in some third site (preferably a popular platform) and/or spread across Reddit.
Something important however: we should invite people to the Lemmyverse as a whole, not just this instance. This instance is already overburdened, and even if I’m myself staying here (I like it), everyone sticking to the same instance defeats the purpose of decentralisation.
What is the actual impact of which server you join? Seems like different servers advertise to different communities but as far as I’m aware it shouldn’t really matter which server you join
For the end user, acting on good faith (that is: not trolling, not trying to annoy everyone, etc.), the major impact of the server is the following:
some servers don’t communicate with each other. For example, you won’t see content from Beehaw in Lemmygrad and vice versa, and you won’t be able to post in one using the account from the other*. But you can still post in both from a lemmy.ml account, for example.
if your server is down, you probably won’t be able to post/comment. And if another server is down, but yours is up, you won’t be able to access the content of the server that is down.
each server requires you to follow different rules. The admins of that server might ban your account for not following them.
I’m not so sure on what I’m going to say, but I believe that each server can customise its own interface.
some servers (like Federotica) allow you to post NSFW content, and federate with NSFW content elsewhere. Some (like lemmy) don’t.
*it makes sense because Lemmygrad allows you to be rude, and Beehaw isn’t focused on a single political “category”. So mixing both demographics would lead to pointless fights.
