You could also share links in a Url shortened style and use that redirect to let someone select an instance or log in to another service to know where to send links. This also isn't great.

The ideal would be a site that asks you for your instance once, saves it as a cookie, then automatically redirects you.

You would have to select it for each device, but that would work for most people that only use their phone.
