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

IIRC a few instances are de-federated from .today due to how rightwing/conservative it is. So it's a bit like shadowbanning yourself.

Edit: Just checked, Lemmy.Today isn't blocked by any instances.

~~Last I checked .today was defederated by one instance, don't know why.~~ I'm open to more info.

The description and the rules are boilerplate, no bigotry or transphobia kind of thing. The admins have been helpful and responsive. I can see why conservatives would join an instance like this, but there's nothing inherently conservative about it.

When I joined the most-visited local community was conservative, but they're pretty tame by right wing standards. A couple of the mods posted left-leaning articles to my community, too.

I don't pay attention to a lot of Lemmy drama unless it crosses my feed, so I could be wrong.

The rules on Lemmy.ml are innocuous too, fwiw.
