It took a few days for instances to be upgraded and admins to fill in their profiles but it's looking much healthier now!

An instance with 3 or more topics is newbie friendly. Topics are bundles of communities that are shown to new accounts during their initial on-boarding and by choosing some topics they automatically join all the communities in those topics.

I'm finding that pretty much every instance has 3 or more so this filter is not so useful, except to exclude development and testing instances. I'm not sure where we'll end up on that.

I think this would benefit from admin input for the newbie value.

My instance, being around anarchy and complex social and political topics, is NOT newbie friendly. I would think having a way for admins to rate their instance, and potentially a text field to explain why/why not would be useful.
