Or something that goes a bit deeper onto each instance and explains them better? I have a mutual on mastodon that I recommended Lemmy to, and tried to link join-lemmy.org/instances, but it doesn’t really do much to warn about hexbear/lemmygrad/.ml/etc. Those instances are defederated from a LOT of lemmy and i don’t want my moot to sign up there and not even know that they’re not really experiencing the Lemmy experience that I’m recommending.

I don’t wanna start a war in the comments about instance dramas, I just wanna find a better resource to recommend Lemmy as a ‘reddit alternative’ -w-

    oh that’s right! I forgot about piefed. I would like to switch but this is my 3rd account switching instances and I’m not excited about starting all over again 🙁

      Piefed and Lemmy can both import your settings (including subscriptions) from another account.

      Piefed can important Lemmy subscriptions/settings as well, but Lemmy can only do Lemmy I think.

      You can’t bring your posts/comments but you don’t have to start from scratch.
