Hi everyone, I’m having trouble finding a Lemmy instance that works well for me. The main instance I use is down, and most others are too slow. I’m wondering if there’s a way to choose an instance based on latency and the least blocked users. I found two relevant issues on the awesome-lemmy-instances GitHub page: issue #12 about choosing an instance based on latency and issue #17 about choosing an instance with the least blocked users. However, I’m not sure how to implement these into the main script to generate a readme with a few recommended instances. Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to choose a Lemmy instance based on these criteria? Thanks in advance for your help!
Have you considered hosting your own instance instead? Seems like that would solve the issue.
That’s what I do. I’m basically immune to any defederation drama, as I can choose who to federate or defederate with myself, and I’m immune to any downtime (other than the time I accidentally nuked my MBR the morning before I left on an all-day trip and couldn’t access my instance all day because of it, but let’s not talk about that).
