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:
- Some instances didn’t allow you to create new communities
- Some instances were setup with an
allowlistso that you couldn’t subscribe/participate with communities on (most) other instances - Some instances disabled important features like downvotes
- 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 :)
There is also a similar list on: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
oh shit I wish I knew that existed before XD
I’ve stumbled upon this site that seems to be similar?
https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/
Thanks for sharing! How did you find that one? Do you know who runs it? I really, really like that they have an uptime monitor.
I saw it somewhere on lemmy shortly after joining. I then left the tab open thinking it’d be useful but unfortunately lost the thread!
Is it autogenerated like this one?
Yes, it uses a standard called NodeInfo2 that many Fediverse projects and XMPP / Matrix etc. expose.
This project seems not well maintained (see this), I suggest this as an alternative (click “all columns”).
@poVoq Information in both list is completly different. For instance, in the list in github almost all instances accept new users, what is not the case in the-federation.
@maltfield
This is just a difference in how “sign upd only with admin approval” is handled.
Was about to post the same hehe That website is pretty great, specially like the charts!
