Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it’s blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any communities on there that might be relevant to me then I would be missing out. I guess I could just create an account on a walled instance, but I would prefer not to keep creating accounts. I’d like to just find one instance that maximizes my access. Is the answer to just run my own instance?
I’m on https://lemmy.world. Apparently the people running it also run a mastodon server with 160k I think? users, so this might be good.
So, something like that works for a “normal” acct I think. I doubt there’s a way to avoid making alt accts if you also wanna explore alternative topics and lifestyles.
