I am seeking Lemmy instances that federate with three specific instances but do not federate with one other specific instance. I prefer these instances to have more than 50 users to ensure a vibrant community but not be among the top 10 largest instances to avoid contributing to network centralization. Once I compile a list of instances meeting these criteria, I plan to assess their ping to identify the most responsive one.
Does anyone know of a website or an easy method to identify instances that meet these criteria?
With Lemmy 0.19, you can block instances individually FYI.
Oh right I forgot, then I only have to check that the instance federates with the others I want.
https://instance.name/instances
This tells you which instances are federated/blocked. Everyone should have an /instances page.
