I think at the top, just above the “Recommended” <h2> add:

For a more detailed comparison of Lemmy instances, see:

<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances">Awesome-Lemmy-Instances on GitHub</a></li>
<li><a href="https://the-federation.info/platform/73">the-federation.info Lemmy Instances Page</a></li>
<li><a href="https://lemmymap.feddit.de/">Feddit's Lemmymap</a></li>
</ul>

After you create an account, you can find communites across all instances using <a href="https://browse.feddit.de/">Feddit's Lemmy Community Browser</a>

oh shit I wish I knew that existed before XD

I’m literally just asking the instance’s API how many users it has:

• https://links.dartboard.social/api/v3/site

Check the users_active_month field. How your instance calculates that is a question for the lemmy devs ;D

I see TypeScript and get scared. Personally, I do think that the join-lemmy.org/instances page should link to:

1. My table comparison https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
2. The Lemmy Community Browser (to find communities across all instances) https://browse.feddit.de/
3. The Lemmy Map https://lemmymap.feddit.de/
4. The federation’s lemmy page (with another table comparing instances) https://the-federation.info/platform/73

Can anyone with TypeScript experience make this PR for us? Here’s the relevant file:

• https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/blob/main/src/shared/components/instances.tsx

Because I had a bug. Fixing now :)

Hmm, I see community_creation_admin_only is set to false on the API. I’ll look into this, thanks for letting me know :)

• https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/api/v3/site

Edit: should be fixed now. Please let me know if you find any other issues :)

Hi Lemmy!

I make BusKill laptop kill cords that make your computer lock, shutdown, or self-destruct if the device is physically separated from you.

This protects your (encrypted) data from theft, which can be useful for digital nomads and cryptotraders working in cafes/coworking spaces. But our target audience is journalists, activists, and human rights workers in oppressive regimes.

Both the hardware and the software are open-source (CC-BY-SA, GPLv3). We manufacture the hardware with injection molding, but if you have a 3D-printer, then you can take a stab at our 3D-printable prototype.

…And apparently I’m doing (minor) contributions to lemmy these days too
