Comparison of Lemmy Instances
Comparison of Lemmy Instances
Comparison of different Lemmy Instances. Contribute to maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances development by creating an account on GitHub.
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 :)

are manual additions allowed? our host's security blocks some bot traffic and is currently not playing nicely with the stats crawler
Manually maintaining is not realistic.
If your API is read-only and you're blocking bot traffic from querying it, you're doing it wrong. Please be nice to the bots. And also users that use VPNs, privacy plugins, etc. You'll false-positive block them, and that's not very nice.
definitely agree. I don't control our host's policy but i will pass that along. some bot traffic is allowed- we were on the join-lemmy site two days ago and i have a bot running this very minute- i think they're still just trying to dial in the right balance between two much and not enough security
