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

To be honest since you can design everything by joining communities you like. I feel like it doesn’t matter

I would like to know which ones are tailored to my interests, so i dont wanna join something like .ml. I remember there used to be a sheet somewhere with endorsements but i cant find it anymore

It's hard to guess why you're dissatisfied with blahaj.zone. Far as I know it still has a good reputation.

blahaj isn’t particularly hostile toward anarchism or democratic socialism, I don’t think, but it’s largely a liberal instance. It’s defederated from hexbear & lemmygrad, so a lot of socialist content is blocked.

dbzer0 is explicitly anarchist. It blocks lemmygrad but not hexbear.

slrpnk is anarchist-friendly and environmentalist. It blocks both hexbear & lemmygrad.

lemmy.ml is predominantly socialist. It’s federated with everyone except for porn and fascist instances[^1]. The only instances that block it that I can only think of are infosec.pub, lemmy.cafe, and programming.dev.

Quite a few instances are defederated from lemmygrad and/or hexbear. Hexbear is basically only blocks lemmy.world, and lemmygrad only blocks porn and fascist instances.

[^1]: For instance, hilariouschaos, the successor to explodingheads.
