An awesome-list style comparison of Lemmy instances (federated Reddit-alternative servers) to help users migrating from Reddit choose where to register an account. It includes a Python-generated table comparing registration policies, federation, NSFW rules, uptime, and software versions.

Use cases

  • compare lemmy instances before registering an account
  • migrate from reddit to the fediverse
  • find a lemmy server that allows new registrations
  • find lemmy instances that allow NSFW content or downvotes
  • check which lemmy instances are federated vs siloed
  • pick a lemmy instance with high uptime and recent software version

When to choose

  • you are a new user deciding where to create a Lemmy account
  • you want a quick, curated comparison table of recommended instances
  • you are documenting or researching the fediverse ecosystem

When to avoid

  • you need to host or administer a Lemmy instance yourself
  • you want a general Mastodon or ActivityPub instance list
  • you need programmatic access to instance metrics via an API
