If you're helping people sign up on here, that's great! 👏
However, I'd strongly suggest not signing up on the mastodon.social server. It's way way too large and that's dangerous (here's why https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server).
I know some find choice overwhelming, so if you just want one general long-established very busy server https://mas.to is a better option for example.
There are also lots of other good servers listed at https://fedi.garden and https://joinmastodon.org/servers

I often see people posting an intro or something saying they finally joined Mastodon, posted from mastodon.social. It’s always tempting to suggest they migrate right away to another instance, but I don’t want to scare them off.
I wonder if more could be done up front to provide random assignment to a group of open, general-purpose instances or something.
My only complaint about mas.to is low char limits. And that’s it. lol
