I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the instances and their main functions? Is the instance I’m on still workable? Any feedback would help, thx. <3

ooh is there a list of piefed instances from most popular to most endorsements? And specifically ones that tailor to solarpunk/anarchism/lgbtq+? i wonder why everyone shifted to piefed? is it because one of the lemmy devs had a controversial past?

People just like it better. You're probably overthinking these things. The point of federation is so that these decisions don't matter as much. (Almost) all the instances are connected and sharing the same community and content. There is no magic "best" place to be, and if there is, it won't be because it's "popular" it will be because it's "the right one for you".

Some instances have rules and some instances have toxic developers like the ones at .ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad. I dont wanna be near them
