I'm assuming the OP said something about creating your own instance? Not sure--Anyways, the beauty of how Lemmy is laid out is that you can find an instance for programming, here's one for you.

There are also these available instances, just click on them, hit subscribe and it should be available to you.

Big in subs, yeah, but most of their active users barely scraped a couple hundred.

yeah but people are addicted and will forget. most users here will eventually return to reddit, that's just how it works.

I predict Reddit backing out, lowering the API price to something realistic, and then everyone forgets what happened, like every other time something like this has happened.

Just got to keep that momentum going.

They help shut down bigoted and hateful communities. Sounds good.

Buuut they're biased. Anything that's pro-ccp, pro-stalin, or even pro-holodomor is politely ignored by them. Likewise, they also operate racist subreddits towards white ethnic groups and encourage self-harm and suicide for vulnerable men.

There are also rumours of AHS posting ToS-violating content on subs they dislike, such as CP. Of course these don't have much substance aside from the fact that AHS previously trolled The_Donald by "leaking" a false document to The_Donald mod-team (meaning posting false content on other subs is something they have done).

Here you go. Remember the admins have a worrying and extensive history with pedophilic content on their website, from jailbait to numerous admins being ousted as pedophile-apologists or pedos themselves.

I think it has to do with the Epstein and Maxwell case process. Maxwell had her fingers in many social media websites, especially reddit. I mean for Reddit she was the first user to hit 1m karma, and also one of the first powermods, controlling most of the powerful subreddits. Wouldn't surprise me if all the big rats are jumping ship before shit hits the fan.
