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!

If you have the ability then self hosting is the best option

Otherwise I think instances with less users and content will be quicker, but then the all feed will probably be smaller.

I will also recommend my own instance endlesstalk.org. It is very small(10 users) and the server is located in Germany. Hopefully that is close to where you live, so the latency is low.
