Best PieFed instance to recommend to Redditors? (sh.itjust.works)

From fediverse.observer, these are the top ten by active users:

  • piefed.social (too big?)
  • piefed.blahaj.zone (LGBT-focused)
  • piefed.world (same team as lemmy.world, potentially too big?)
  • piefed.ca (canada-focused)
  • feddit.online
  • piefed.zip (same team as lemmy.zip)
  • quokk.au (blocks feddit.org?)
  • piefed.au (too small?)
  • crust.piefed.social (beta testing for piefed.social)
  • anarchist.nexus (same team as lemmy.dbzer0.com)

It seems like feddit.online and piefed.zip might be the most neutral, general instances, not too big or too small.

What are people's thoughts on the above list? Any aspects I've overlooked?

Why is too big or too small a problem?

Small instances can be less stable. Large instances aren't a problem themselves, but if new users always join the largest instance, that defeats the purpose of decentralization.
