Well, you can try mine, https://lemmings.world. It's federated with the bigger instances so you won't miss any content. It's well maintained and supported. And I plan on maintaining it long-term. Also it has Lemmings in the name.

Also it has lemming in the name. :) love it.
Definitely checking this out.
How are you defining "good" here? Off the top of my head I would say
- lemm.ee
- lemmy.sdf.org
- lemmy.one
- sh.itjust.works
This is a great list of general-purpose sort of "next step down in size from lemmy.world"-instances.
I like mtgzone.com, but it might not be for everyone
Oh, Magic the gathering! I thought Marjorie Taylor Greene and was agreeing with you that it might not be for everyone.
Trying to imagine who would like her enough to make that. Conservatives only see her as a useful tool.
sh.itjust.works is pretty popular.
Not a small instance. It has over 20,000 users.
Yeah, I wasn't sure what OP meant by "small." I mean, it's user base is less than a fifth the size of .world, so maybe it counts.
How many are active?
453 daily users according to their sidebar.
I have my tiny instance that currently has 4 users, with me being the most active. I update Lemmy regularly, upgrade and manage resources as needed, and even do server management via my phone when I need to. Federated with all of the big ones so there’s no lack in content and I’m always scouring for new communities to sub to. The only rule I have (aside from the ones stated in the rules page) is no NSFW. It’s mostly a CYA measure for myself.
Plus it has a fun URL!
I moved to lemme.ee. i find the rules and regulations and reason for defederation in lemmy.world is so insane. and performance was also not good on lemmy.world. many users have made accounts on the server. Lemme.ee is fast and didn't have any downtime till now.
I've been enjoying Lemmy.blahaj.zone, though it's more niche given that it's an instance for trans people
Fediverse.observer is a good resource for sorting through and finding different instances for all types of activitypub platforms. There are pages for Lemmy and Kbin among plenty of others. That's how I found the instance I'm currently on, and I'm pretty happy with it.
Tried lemmy.world and lemmy.one but they were both down frequently last week. Bounced to lemm.ee and it's been great so far. The admin is knowledgeable and cares about hosting.
lemmy.world is more often down than not
DDOS attacks have been hitting fediverse sights. LW is combating it. Once they lock it down the DDOS attacks will turn to the smaller servers.
If only lemmy.world would invest into something like stormwall, ddos-guard or nexuspipe. Cloudflare is complete dogshit against most modern ddos attacks (unfortunately).

This is not true. C'mon.
Does it go down? Yes. Annoying. Has it been down longer than it's been up? Of course not.
At least it's a motivator to diversify to smaller instances.
What do you mean by "just as good".
It really depends on if you mean amount of content, or are ok with there only being maybe one post a day but that being a quality post worthy of discussion.
Í want to hear about both to be honest.
Good is subjective, given I can see all of the same content, and more.
Also far fewer issues since I don't have to support 100k users here.
I'm liking lemmy.one. federates with big instances, rarely downtime, and downvotes are disabled.
Everyone should support small instances. It would be horrible if the entire lemmy network consists of like 10 large instances. And if people don't use the small instances, that will probably happen after a year or two.
Support all the people who has an instance and wants to contribute to the Lemmy network.
Go sign up right now, if only to have an alternate account when needed.
Was on world but then created same account name on sopuli.xyz and not had a single down moment since.
The one I'm on is really good. There's been technical difficulties, but the admin is great.
For a very small instance(10 users), you can try mine at endlesstalk.org. It also has multiple frontends hosted like lemmy.world and many others.
Otherwise I would recommend lemm.ee, lemmy.sdf.org and lemmy.zip
This is just the daily reminder that my instance:
- is professionally managed
- has a fair and straightforward path to sustainability (free forever for the first 250 users, after that $8/year membership)
- is hosted in Germany and privacy is a serious matter
- pledged to contributes back to open source, 20% of the profits are distributed to the main fediverse projects.
slrpnk.net is great
I've also started hosting my own at prxs.site
There's quite a lot, you can check out join-lemmy.org for a solid list. Mine is open as well, but reading/writing isn't everyones thing
