Well thanks I’ll try your suggestions. I tried a portuguese instance but it was really slow going, maybe I should check again. Truth is I haven’t entirely figured how this works and to be truthful staying out of social media as whole has been refreshing. But I find the lack of users and memes from 10 years ago kinda charming, being a decades old reddit user, lemmy holds some of the niceness of reddit in the old years so I’ll stick around. Would mastodon be any better? Have no interest on xitter clones like bluesky
No idea on Mastodon myself. I've heard a couple interviews of the developer, seems like a cool guy. But thats about all i can say.
I's playing round with this instance and community finder the other night, works really well. Might be useful to find a more active community that you'll enjoy.

Mastodon is single developer? 🤔
And thanks for the list, a question I should post on “no stupid questions “ I need to create a new account on every instance I want to explore, right? This is a rabbit hole inside a rabbit hole 😂
So, further to mu previous comment, no you shouldn't need to create an account on each instance you want to explore. At best creating an account on the instance might make navigability better.
I think he has a few people with him now. But i listened to the interview at the start of the year, so i'm starting to the detail.
Exploring instances should be as easy as looking up any other website. At least to get their 'local' front page. Or just navigate to them through that link above.
As an example you could look up jlai.lu, a french instance. They're pretty active.
