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 :)

Users can create communities on Blahaj Lemmy. Most of our communities are created by users

It’s cool seeing this post in Mastodon.how do you do that? Is there a guide anywhere for how to setup mastodon seeing lemmy or lemmy seeing mastodon?
@maltfield So apparently I can interact with my Lemmy posts on my Mastodon account. Cool!
For anyone else trying to figure out how: I just took the URL of the Lemmy post (https://lemmy.ml/post/1168743) and pasted it into the Mastodon search field.
You’re awesome man! This is direly needed. I’m just wondering how on earth to publicize this before the madness that hits on Monday.
Any chance you could find a place to fit this in the join lemmy site and do a pull request before then? I know it’s a lot to ask, but it would be huge.
I see TypeScript and get scared. Personally, I do think that the join-lemmy.org/instances page should link to:
- My table comparison https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
- The Lemmy Community Browser (to find communities across all instances) https://browse.feddit.de/
- The Lemmy Map https://lemmymap.feddit.de/
- The federation’s lemmy page (with another table comparing instances) https://the-federation.info/platform/73
Can anyone with TypeScript experience make this PR for us? Here’s the relevant file:
You thinking just a <ul> with the 4 links in it and a header of some sort? Mock or description or anything?
I think at the top, just above the “Recommended” <h2> add:
For a more detailed comparison of Lemmy instances, see: <ul> <li><a href="https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances">Awesome-Lemmy-Instances on GitHub</a></li> <li><a href="https://the-federation.info/platform/73">the-federation.info Lemmy Instances Page</a></li> <li><a href="https://lemmymap.feddit.de/">Feddit's Lemmymap</a></li> </ul> After you create an account, you can find communites across all instances using <a href="https://browse.feddit.de/">Feddit's Lemmy Community Browser</a> <h2>Recommended</h2> ...
There is also a similar list on: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
oh shit I wish I knew that existed before XD
How about a spreadsheet release (on GitHub) so we can easily filter things out? 👀
I’m a little bit confused by the federation thing. How would I let my instance talk to any other instance except the ones I blacklist?
Great work! Can you include the instance description in this list also?
Also i would love to see country but that’s doesn’t seem to be included in the Lemmy app. I guess you could do a ip lookup on some service to see country if you really wanted to.
