bridgy-fed VS awesome-lemmy-instances

I tried to add ActivityPub support to my personal website a few months ago.

Unfortunately I found myself reading the W3’s documentation [1] for the most part. Fortunately they weren’t that hard to follow :)

In the end I got lazy and integrated with https://fed.brid.gy which was dead simple since I already had WebMentions setup

You might want to checkout Bridgy Fed, the docs https://fed.brid.gy/docs (requires technical know-how to get whole thing to work)

Go to fed.brid.gy and, if you're like me, you'll want to click on "Cross-post to a Mastodon account", so that it'll integrate with your existing Mastodon account.

There's even a bridge from Indie Web to Mastodon: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed

I tried join-lemmy.org, but it's just an unordered list of random servers. This repo, linked there, hasn't had a commit in three weeks, which, given the recent attempt at an exodus, presumably dates it severely. This site, which the first site links, is just outright dead, and doesn't work. The last site they link is a D3 visualization that doesn't work too well - it's very cluttered, and instances constantly fall of the screen, with no scrolling capability - nearly unreadable.

Here you'll get a quick explanation of some of the features different instances can enable and a list of which instances have what https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances

https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances among other places has some comparisons

Your best bet is to join a Lemmy instance with a name you like, really. Check this list of instances. If I were you I'd pick one with a good uptime, but not World or ShitJustWorks, nor Beehaw.

I don't understand the relevance of github here either. Pick an instance from https://join-lemmy.org/ or pick one from https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances like I did. Heads up that the latter hasn't been updated in a while. Go through the sign up process on that instance. Use a valid email address when signing up. Check your spam folder for a confirmation email. Good luck, let us know if you have any other questions.
