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?

There's a built-in instance list on piefed when you click on "register". It's sorted by server speed. The most popular must be piefed.social.

And specifically ones that tailor to solarpunk/anarchism/lgbtq+?

In reverse order, piefed.blahaj.zone for a lgbtq+ instance, and anarchist.nexus as well as quokk.au for anarchist ones. @povoq@slrpnk.net mentioned the possibility of a solarpunk piefed instance in the past, but it's yet to become something concrete.

i wonder why everyone shifted to piefed? is it because one of the lemmy devs had a controversial past?

I think it's half because piefed has more features, develops faster than lemmy, and half because the lemmy devs are pricks (one being a transphobe, and the other not being all that bothered by it).

We don't plan to setup a separate Piefed instance, but we want to migrate our main Lemmy instance to Piefed sometimes early next year, but there are still some unknowns if the migration will be feasible or not.
