    Personally I’d recommend picking an instance that at least has Hexbear and Lemmygrad blocked, as that removes 95% of the toxicity you’d see on the platform. You can check what an instance blocks by scrolling to the bottom of their main page and clicking the instances link.

    Sopuli.xyz is a really solid medium sized general instance, with good admins and an updated lemmy.

    Lemmy.cafe is a nice small instance (not much local activity, so you’ll need to rely on the All view and your subscriptions for that one).

    If you have affinity with Anarchism (or environmentalism or sailing the high seas), Slrpnk.net and lemmy.dbzer0 are both excellent.

    But if you’d like a more themed instance that appeals to a particular interest, by all means go for that instead. https://lemmyverse.net/ or the instance finder tool at https://join-lemmy.org/ are good places to find one. :)

        Unfortunately an individual blocking an instance only stops posts from those instances from showing up, but you can still see comments and responses from the users of the blocked instance.

      Tbh Hexbear and Lemmygrad users aren’t very toxic unless you go into their communities and post liberal cringe

        You’re a tankie, of course you don’t see an issue with their behaviour. You were never the target of it.
