Lots of rude and hateful comments over here generating a ton of reports. Next time I'm issuing perma-bans for this kind of nonsense. Be respectful.

It's hard to guess why you're dissatisfied with blahaj.zone. Far as I know it still has a good reputation.
If blahaj.zone is still great then im proud to be on this instance :3 im just exploring other options in case
If you like Blahaj then there is also a Piefed Blahaj instance now! I like Piefed over lemmy, I don’t know if they’ve added it to lemmy since I left but I really like being able to mute replies. It has other features lemmy lacks too, like being able to block an entire instance or make feeds (multireddit like function).

I joined Lemmy.today to see all the instances, they don't block anyone. I expected chaos, but it's richer. To be fair, I rarely browse 'All,' instead sticking to subscribed coms where the backwards-speaking wanderers from hexbear are more of a feature than a bug.
Now it's my main account.
PR Edit: I meant no offense to the good people of hexbear, I'm just confused by your ways.
Browsing /subscribed only is definitely the way.

none. join a piefed instance instead.
is there an introduction to piefed instances anywhere? what happened to lemmy that caused ppl to migrate to piefed?
https://join.piefed.social/try/ has a list. There just arn't that many yet but https://anarchist.nexus/ is a solid choice.
We didn't want to be lending any form of support to developers who deny genocide and promote transphobia.
So we found a more ethical solution and than it turns out the developers are fucking amazing and it's progressing so fast that it's leaving Lemmy in the dust. Many people are now moving because it's offering features and improvements that the Lemmy devs refused to.

I'm honestly embarrassed by the comments on this post. Is this really the best advice we can offer a newcomer to Lemmy? This internecene warfare between instances is not doing us any favours.
Nearly all of that is just a few people flaming out when suspected communists comment in “their” internet spaces, even when those comments weren’t particularly about communism.

Well for anarchist/queer/pro-environment, Lemmy.dbzer0.com slrpnk.net and (kinda) Lemmy.blahaj.zone, not officially but tons of anarchists there.
Another important thing to consider is federation policy (if you're looking to make accounts there and not just browse comms from your current acc:)). For example Dbzer0 is the most lax and blahaj is the most moderated, not necessarily good or bad it just depends on what you personally want.
Edit: also welcome back to lemmy !

To be honest since you can design everything by joining communities you like. I feel like it doesn’t matter

This thread is wild. I am good on Lemmy. I like sopuli.xyz
blahaj isn’t particularly hostile toward anarchism or democratic socialism, I don’t think, but it’s largely a liberal instance. It’s defederated from hexbear & lemmygrad, so a lot of socialist content is blocked.
dbzer0 is explicitly anarchist. It blocks lemmygrad but not hexbear.
slrpnk is anarchist-friendly and environmentalist. It blocks both hexbear & lemmygrad.
lemmy.ml is predominantly socialist. It’s federated with everyone except for porn and fascist instances[^1]. The only instances that block it that I can only think of are infosec.pub, lemmy.cafe, and programming.dev.
Quite a few instances are defederated from lemmygrad and/or hexbear. Hexbear is basically only blocks lemmy.world, and lemmygrad only blocks porn and fascist instances.
[^1]: For instance, hilariouschaos, the successor to explodingheads.
blahaj is very welcome toward anarchism and democratic socialism, it's hostile towards authoritarian regimes
Hexbear is basically only blocks lemmy.world
Hexbear runs an allowlist, they only federate with instances they select.

Check out slrpnk.net! Environmentalist, anarchist-leaning, very inclusive, with excellent admins and renewable-energy-powered servers.
I’d guess the one which seems that it will last more, since you can subscribe to communities of any other instance. You’ll only see a difference if you browse only local posts.
In my case I chose infosec.pub because I want to browse it locally if I want, but my subscribed communities include memes and webcomics for some light time wasters.
You know what's nice? That we have this option at all. I'm partial to sdf, piefed, and world myself.
There’s a couple of places you can look with info on the instances. I like the admins of my instance but I’ll be moving to their piefed instance instead.
