https://lemmy.zip/ is the closest imo.

I see a few people recommending lemmygrad, lemmy.ml and hexbear, I don't really think you'd enjoy those servers too much unless you are interested in leftism/communism.

also, people will assume you're a tankie just because your name ends with .ml 😞

If you have a favorite community you might take a look at the instance they’re hosted out of.

Beyond that, my general advice is to sort Lemmy instances by number of active users, then pick one that’s somewhere between the 10th and 20th largest.
