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

Lots of rude and hateful comments over here generating a ton of reports. Next time I'm issuing perma-bans for this kind of nonsense. Be respectful.

I'm honestly embarrassed by the comments on this post. Is this really the best advice we can offer a newcomer to Lemmy? This internecene warfare between instances is not doing us any favours.

Nearly all of that is just a few people flaming out when suspected communists comment in “their” internet spaces, even when those comments weren’t particularly about communism.

Yeah. Yikes.

The advice is decent actually. It's the non-advice comments that should just be deleted. Even the advice from that .ml guy is careful. Wouldn't have caused any issue if someone didn't pick the fight while fully aware that there will not be a resolution.

This thread is wild. I am good on Lemmy. I like sopuli.xyz

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

If blahaj.zone is still great then im proud to be on this instance :3 im just exploring other options in case

I joined Lemmy.today to see all the instances, they don't block anyone. I expected chaos, but it's richer. To be fair, I rarely browse 'All,' instead sticking to subscribed coms where the backwards-speaking wanderers from hexbear are more of a feature than a bug.

Now it's my main account.

PR Edit: I meant no offense to the good people of hexbear, I'm just confused by your ways.

I’m in a similar boat, though I’ve been present for some time.

Dbzer0 seems like the best “fit” for me, but practically I just want the instance that’s not defederated/blocking other instances.

…Not sure which that is. But I’d look at Piefed before Lemmy, since they work together, but Piefed seems more desirable feature-wise.
