Lemm.ee wasn’t a good fit for me previously because they federate with everyone and there used to be instances that just spammed redit cross-posts that got no engagement, but I think last I looked at that account it didn’t seem to be an issue anymore.

Shit just works is one I was considering. And I see dbzer0 regularly and meant to go take a look at that instance

This is a really helpful resource you might appreciate: https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances

At a glance I don’t see lemm.ee anymore so they may no longer be allowing new account creation
