It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the instances and their main functions? Is the instance I’m on still workable? Any feedback would help, thx. <3

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.

IIRC a few instances are de-federated from .today due to how rightwing/conservative it is. So it's a bit like shadowbanning yourself.
