From fediverse.observer, these are the top ten by active users:

  • piefed.social (too big?)
  • piefed.blahaj.zone (LGBT-focused)
  • piefed.world (same team as lemmy.world, potentially too big?)
  • piefed.ca (canada-focused)
  • feddit.online
  • piefed.zip (same team as lemmy.zip)
  • quokk.au (blocks feddit.org?)
  • piefed.au (too small?)
  • crust.piefed.social (beta testing for piefed.social)
  • anarchist.nexus (same team as lemmy.dbzer0.com)

It seems like feddit.online and piefed.zip might be the most neutral, general instances, not too big or too small.

What are people’s thoughts on the above list? Any aspects I’ve overlooked?

    But also using the developer’s own instance brings a different risk of putting all your eggs in the same basket, look at what happened to Kbin.

    Well, to be fair, if rimu just went AWOL - it wouldn’t matter what piefed instance everyone went to. The development process would stop and Piefed would degrade.

      Kbin forked to Mbin and many of the instances upgraded, the same could happen with PieFed but piefed.social would be dead
