How to Choose a Lemmy Instance Based on Latency and Least Blocked Users? (lemmy.ml)

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble finding a Lemmy instance that works well for me. The main instance I use is down, and most others are too slow. I'm wondering if there's a way to choose an instance based on latency and the least blocked users. I found two relevant issues on the awesome-lemmy-instances GitHub page: issue #12 about choosing an instance based on latency and issue #17 about choosing an instance with the least blocked users. However, I'm not sure how to implement these into the main script to generate a readme with a few recommended instances. Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to choose a Lemmy instance based on these criteria? Thanks in advance for your help!

For those two specifically I'd suggest to host one yourself. You then are 100% in control over blocking users/instances and the latency is super short because you're the only one on the server. That's what I'm doing.
