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 :)

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:
