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
allowlist
so 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 :)
I see, so it’s commenting accounts per hour. Would be interesting to see what the commenting accounts per month is to more accurately compare to this list. Although this list doesn’t make it clear whether they are using accounts that have commented or accounts that have simply participated via logging in and voting, I would personally include any voting account as “active”.

Only wish we knew what the definition of “active” being used was more clearly.
