Finding an instance that blocks least and is least blocked

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?

  • can an instance have only 1 community for support and then have no content of its own? I believe that many already do (or near to it). This would likely be the recipe for blocking the least and being blocked the least.

    • Instance owners would block that kind of instance based on the activity of its users instead.

      • they certainly can do that. I wonder if we'll get to that point where there are SPAM instances that every other instance will need to deal with

    • What about an instance with only one user?

      • self instance? sure, but that's not one you can join persay

        • Ah, but I can if it's mine, right? I'm going to give it a shot.

          • loads of people are making their own and doing pretty much this. I'm planning on giving it a try sometime over the summer. should be a fun project that I can actually keep using for a while. maybe even make my own notes or something.

            I might explore options to make private content just for myself
