I recommend PieFed rather than Lemmy tbh - it just has so many cool features that Lemmy lacks, like categories of communities and combining comments across all cross-posts, so cool!
But if sticking with Lemmy, for anyone in the USA I cannot recommend highly enough Discuss.Online - it has fantastic uptime and a very friendly admin group, both of which are somewhat rare so it’s really kinda odd why that instance has so few users on it (although understandable when most people choose Lemmy.World or lemm.ee, or coming from the EU choose a different regional instance, which is also cool:-).
