I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the instances and their main functions? Is the instance I’m on still workable? Any feedback would help, thx. <3

I'm honestly embarrassed by the comments on this post. Is this really the best advice we can offer a newcomer to Lemmy? This internecene warfare between instances is not doing us any favours.

Yeah. Yikes.

The advice is decent actually. It's the non-advice comments that should just be deleted. Even the advice from that .ml guy is careful. Wouldn't have caused any issue if someone didn't pick the fight while fully aware that there will not be a resolution.
