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 :)

There is also a similar list on: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
oh shit I wish I knew that existed before XD
I’ve stumbled upon this site that seems to be similar?
Thanks for sharing! How did you find that one? Do you know who runs it? I really, really like that they have an uptime monitor.
I saw it somewhere on lemmy shortly after joining. I then left the tab open thinking it’d be useful but unfortunately lost the thread!
How about a spreadsheet release (on GitHub) so we can easily filter things out? 👀
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> ...
@maltfield
It’s cool seeing this post in Mastodon.How do you check wether nsfw content is allowed?
Because my instance (feddit.de) doesn‘t allow pornographic material. I guess that doesn‘t exclude all nsfw content. But the column header is called adult and it makes it seem like „adult content“ aka porn was allowed.
*edit fixed typo
@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.
Users can create communities on Blahaj Lemmy. Most of our communities are created by users
