Which reasonably sized instance to recommend newcomers? (self.fediverse)

Criteria: I'm looking for instances that are defed' with the Big 3 tankies (lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, and hexbear). I have no interest in trying to persuade my friends to create an acc and set up instance blocks before diving in, or dealing with the feedback when they run into the tankie brigade.

Edit: lemmy.cafe and infosec.pub seem to fit. I also find it really interesting just how many of the replies totally ignored my stated criteria.

I use Connect for android. I have blocked some instances within it, so I don't see posts from those communities in my /all, and while I do see their comments they are behind a "this user is blocked. click here to show anyway" type of message like a spoiler tag. It works well enough.

Oh that's perfection! So much better than a binary yes/no.

So many apps, like Voyager, simply activate the Lemmy baseline "instance blocking" that does next to nothing to actually block the instance.

I bet there's a lot of other cool things that Connect can do too.:-)

I've been quite happy with it.
