Hi everyone,
The awesome-lemmy-instances repo (https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances) has been a great resource for comparing Lemmy instances, but it looks like it hasn’t been updated in about 2 years.
I’m trying to find current information across the whole Threadiverse (Lemmy, PieFed, and Mbin).
Does anyone know of a maintained alternative or a similar comparison table that includes:
- Current Monthly Active Users (MAU)
- Open registrations
- Downvotes enabled/disabled
Thanks!

Piefed.zip for Piefed features ( https://join.piefed.social/features/ )
Lemmy.zip for people who prefer Lemmy
@mindfulmaverick@piefed.zip, I assumed that you did but in case you did not know, also check out https://piefed.social/auth/instance_chooser as a great place to compare Piefed instances (although @blaze@quokk.au, I noticed that Piefed.zip neither appears in any of the multiple Piefed instance pickers that I looked at, nor does any other instance appear in its own listing at https://piefed.zip/auth/instance_chooser - so something seems wrong there?).
There is no real equivalent to that Piefed instance picker for Lemmy although https://join-lemmy.org/instances comes closest in spirit - except that the “random” sorting will show either lemmy.ml or hexbear.net something like 90% of the time, despite them being the #4 and #6 highest MAU instances with <2k MAUs each, and if it lies about even what a “random instance” is then I don’t put much trust in what else it may attempt to convey as well. Those descriptions also seem… incomplete as well, in terms of characterizing what goes on at each instance.
The Fediverse Observer would be one place to start, for MAUs and whether currently accepting sign-ups or not. I don’t know how to find upvotes enabled or open registrations without checking each one individually.
Aren’t they all using the same underlying protocol, which would mean a quick search in one of the apps would do/be a starting point if you want to rip the code out and use it yourself?
