Or something that goes a bit deeper onto each instance and explains them better? I have a mutual on mastodon that I recommended Lemmy to, and tried to link join-lemmy.org/instances, but it doesn’t really do much to warn about hexbear/lemmygrad/.ml/etc. Those instances are defederated from a LOT of lemmy and i don’t want my moot to sign up there and not even know that they’re not really experiencing the Lemmy experience that I’m recommending.

I don’t wanna start a war in the comments about instance dramas, I just wanna find a better resource to recommend Lemmy as a ‘reddit alternative’ -w-

    I joined years before the first reddit exodus and back then the .ml instance was one of like three available instances.

    I keep reading about instances blocking .ml and everybody on .ml being a tanky but I just wanna browse memes 🤷‍♂️

      Yeah it seems like something has definitely changed. I was just digging through 3yr old threads on .ml and hexbear this morning and there’s a way different tone from now. Like, same politics but they’re not at war. Can I get your take on what happened?
