Which Lemmy instance is better to move to? (lemmy.world)

Looking for:

  • no misogynists (so dbzer0 is out)
  • no libertarians, no marxist lenninsts, no tankies, no rightwingers
  • people who understand climate change is real
  • leftists including anarchists, social democrats, democratic socialists, communists, etc are great

I picked world bc I was told it would have the most activity. Since joining Lemmy I have been repeatedly harassed by men on this instance, threatened with murder and rape by users including open Nazis (this was also happening on Reddit), and permabanned for being a woman, for being a feminist, and for not breaking any rules and posting factual news sources. Would like a better instance.

Have been considering solarpunk Lemmy but willing to consider other instances, just not sure

I think I really need a ELI5 about those instances. Like, I thought the instance doesn't matter, since I can see comments from users outside of lemmy.world? I feel so dumb. lol

Some instances have different policies of conduct. Lemmy.world is a pretty general instance, so it won't really impact most people.

After another user's comment, I really don't think I understand it myself lol
