Thanks, I guess I’ll just try doing homework this time to find exactly what I’m looking for. An instance that just doesn’t do any de-federating whatsoever is also kinda scary because I don’t want CSAM and shit ending up in my feed. I also don’t want to end up cut off from places like Blåhaj because of admins not taking action over certain things.
So I need something more like world or ee. But without any limits on image uploading either because I’d rather find an instance that can be both message board and image host than look for some third party image host platform to use that may or may not work nicely with various apps.
My problem is not reading properly. Because I was taken by surprise by the no downvotes thing when I signed up on Blåhaj and I was taken by surprise here on lemm.ee with the 4 week wait and 500kb limit on file uploads. So basically I just need to do my homework and read properly.
I have always got good vibes from zip users and communities in the past. I see that one instance they de-federate from unfortunately is that hilariouschaos instance. One of the reasons I signed up here was to see the alt community there. That instance definitely gives me certain vibes though and it’s a pity that there’s a few communities on there of interest to me. But yeah, I’d like to find an instance that gets rid of illegal content and doesn’t allow straight bigotry under the guise of ‘free speech’ but I’d also like to be able to decide for myself sometimes. And block users or communities myself if they disagree with my politics or lifestyle.
Thanks very much for the help here. The links you shared are definitely going to be useful in helping me find what I’m looking for. This instance that I’m on right now is almost perfect for me so far, apart from the image hosting limitations.
You’re welcome to make an account on crazypeople.online. The sidebar should tell you all you need to know. If it turns out it’s not your thing you can always try another instance.
Just took a look and it definitely seems like the kind of instance that I’m looking for. The only thing is, I’ve just recently come from another instance with downvotes disabled (Blahaj) and was wanting to get a look at Lemmy with all votes enabled. Honestly I wish that individual communities or instances could choose to have downvotes disabled without it effecting every other instance too. Sucks that it’s an all or nothing kind of deal.
By the way, just realised that I’m an absolute idiot that was looking at the wrong list and that lemmy.zip is in fact federated with hilariouschaos. I’m honestly getting tired of being blind or doing dumb things, I promise I’m not normally a stupid person but it’s like my brain isn’t working properly these days.
You can use this list and sort by Active users to have an idea of the servers with the most users: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
Out of that list, https://lemmy.today/instances is know for having an empty blocked instances list, so they don’t defederate anyone.
In the other direction, you can use a tool such as https://defed.xyz/check?name=lemm.ee&software=lemmy (https://defed.xyz/check?name=lemmy.today&software=lemmy) to see which instances defederate a certain instance.

Maybe https://lemmy.zip/ ?
They have good reputation, regular reports on !home@lemmy.zip, very short defederation list: https://lemmy.zip/instances

No worries mate. I hope you find the right space for you.
Glad to hear! Hopefully in a few weeks you’ll be all set!
