Maybe there should be foregrounded somewhere a list of general instances with open registration suitable for people who can't find a specialised instance that suits them.

But better discovery overall is a need I think across the whole fediverse.

Many instances are invite only or actively discourage newbies.

Some others listed are defunct.

When I joined I spent half a day trying to choose an appropriate instance for my interests and still ended up on mastodon.social

funny you say street cred - I perceive our mastodon.social addresses as a little uncool.

I'm all for specialised instances in principle - just commenting that I couldn't find one that was a good fit for me when I joined and I suspect this is a common experience.
