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
allowlist
so 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 :)
Hmm, I see
community_creation_admin_only
is set tofalse
on the API. I’ll look into this, thanks for letting me know :)Edit: should be fixed now. Please let me know if you find any other issues :)
Same for lemmy.studio, I have community creation open for everyone. Not sure why it shows as false.
What’s the API endpoint? I’ll double toggle the option to see if it fixes it, maybe it is set to admin only even if the UI shows the opposite.
Because I had a bug. Fixing now :)
I wonder how the user account is calculated too. I think Dartboard Links (links.dartboard.social) has about 10 users now.
I’m literally just asking the instance’s API how many users it has:
Check the
users_active_month
field. How your instance calculates that is a question for the lemmy devs ;D
