Fully behind Mike's point here. Our instance isn't regional, but it's one of the few mainly dedicated to the sort of content you used to find on "Funny Twitter" (ie jokes, memes, shitposting, etc). With just a couple of hundred members, we're never going to be a "recommended" instance on size. And, because few of us use hashtags - there's no better way to indicate you're not funny than putting #/funny on every post - it's difficult to find us.
Initiatives like this are accidentally designed to exclude a lot.

Very up for ideas on how to add new metrics to allow mid-sized but high capacity servers to the round robin for sure!
