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 :)

@maltfield
It's cool seeing this post in Mastodon.how do you do that? Is there a guide anywhere for how to setup mastodon seeing lemmy or lemmy seeing mastodon?
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:
Users can create communities on Blahaj Lemmy. Most of our communities are created by users
There is also a similar list on: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
oh shit I wish I knew that existed before XD
How about a spreadsheet release (on GitHub) so we can easily filter things out? 👀
I'm a little bit confused by the federation thing. How would I let my instance talk to any other instance except the ones I blacklist?
Great work! Can you include the instance description in this list also?
Also i would love to see country but that's doesn't seem to be included in the Lemmy app. I guess you could do a ip lookup on some service to see country if you really wanted to.
@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.
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
It doesn't say porn, it says adult. The legend describes how it's determined
Adult "Yes" means there's no profanity filters or blocking of NSFW content. "No" means that there are profanity filters or NSFW content is not allowed.
