Just by checking https://lemmy.ml/communities one can see the most popular communities of lemmy.ml. The plan here is to list all the alternatives for those from other instances. One can also suggest alternatives to be added here and I update this living document.

i wouldn’t recommend anything from mander.xyz, it’s a freezepeach instance
Just by looking at the instance’s posts, it doesn’t look like it. I however remember it becoming a spam haven at one point.
it federates indiscriminately, including with the far-right wolfballs and the Marxist-Leninist lemmygrad
I could speculate about this endlessly. Regardless, Sal@mander.xyz, what is your opinion regarding this?
Why would a science / nature instance block? My assumption is it would be open to anyone if posts were on topic, and there were no dodgy posts. Moderation might need to be more on point.
C/monkey pox has been hit with some antivax action before
Ok gotcha
