I do not want to know about peoples' feet or anime waifus. I simply wish it was just easier for sprouts to find mentors and vice versa especially since the overworld is vacant and many sprouts may not even be in the NN. Maybe even a very clear explanation to sprouts what the crown symbol means would suffice. I feel like most of them don't know what it means.

There have been many, many, many and frequent complaints about NN since it's inception, so I don't think it's a crazy thing to ask for an additional avenue to engage.
This thing exists, you can bring up a search of every mentor available in NN and direct message them when you join NN. You can also Player Search your area in general and find them that way. I've personally been approached a few times by new players to get added to it via that search ability.

If we can't even get reliable service when dealing with harassment and other issues, I wouldn't hold your breath for them to fix anything going on in NN.
