Finding an instance that blocks least and is least blocked (lemmy.one)

Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it's blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any communities on there that might be relevant to me then I would be missing out. I guess I could just create an account on a walled instance, but I would prefer not to keep creating accounts. I'd like to just find one instance that maximizes my access. Is the answer to just run my own instance?

U might want to take a look at the federation map. It might be a bit overwhelming but in the settings on the bottom left you may chose blocked and allowed in order to get some insights on who federates with whom.

Oh wow what did lemmygrad.ml do?

They're just generally annoying. They're tankies, constantly praising Putin and the CCP.

Basically sums it up really, although it's great fun to drop in and stir up shit every so often.

They're completely off the deep end though.
