Unfortunately, your experience reflects the design choices that were made for the underlying protocol that runs Fediverse.

Other platforms chose to be more focused on users, but this one is focused on instances instead, so moving from one instance to another is sort of a second thought.

This platform puts instances in the center of the design for better or worse. Personally I'm critical of it because of that, but it's too late to change it now even if we wanted to.
