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-


Dude hexbear and grad giga suck, ml at least generally has more normal people but the admin is a tankie as well. Part of your experience of something includes whether there are insane hateful comments, what’s with the weird minimizing of “just different opinions?”
Go look at the thread of my instance defederating from hexbear, do you think all those people just hallucinated the toxicity? Ml is much better but does have a significantly higher portion of tankies who will minimize atrocities. No normal person wants to deal with that.
Could you actually read my comment before replying next time?
perhaps you could be practicing that too
Ml is more associated with tankies and the owner is a tankie. It’s like going to a bar that has 5% open nazis that is owned by a nazi. You do you but that is not just “different opinions.”
Again, please actually read my comment before replying
