Comparison of different Lemmy Instances. Contribute to maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances development by creating an account on GitHub.

I created a repo on GitHub that has a table comparing all the known lemmy instances

Why?

When I joined lemmy, I had to join a few different instances before I realized that:

  1. Some instances didn’t allow you to create new communities
  2. Some instances were setup with an allowlist so that you couldn’t subscribe/participate with communities on (most) other instances
  3. Some instances disabled important features like downvotes
  4. Some instances have profanity filters or don’t allow NSFW content

I couldn’t find an easy way to see how each instance was configured, so I used lemmy-stats-crawler and GitHub actions to discover all the Lemmy Instances, query their API, and dump the information into a data table for quick at-a-glance comparison.

I hope this helps others with a smooth migration to lemmy. Enjoy :)

      how do you do that? Is there a guide anywhere for how to setup mastodon seeing lemmy or lemmy seeing mastodon?

        You can follow users or communities from Mastodon.

        The magic of ActivityPub.

        Just search for the user or community’s url in mastodon, You can then follow from the result.
