You could also start one; seems like there's plenty of fodder for it (recent events considered). .cafe would probably be a good place for it, too, since it's not one of the super-large instances and is defederated from the extreme 3.
Thanks, I've already defederated from hex and grad, but I want my users to have a good experience with Lemmy, wouldn't want to block such a huge instance as ml
Eh, those are fine for some people, but I've always preferred to let my instance grow organically. Basically everything that shows up here is something someone has subscribed to and wants to see. Quality over quantity and all that. I develop Tesseract and use that as the default frontend, and it makes it very easy for users to find and subscribe to communities (can browse remote instances, search them for communities, and one-click subscribe).
