And then they started hosting transphobic content and refused to follow their own instance's rules, so almost all other instances defederated.

Oh, I had no idea. That must be pretty frustrating for the decent journalists who joined there.

I would recommend to browse press.coop and (maybe) newsie.social instances.

Thanks! I'm still getting a hang of instances. Search too is a learning curve.

How do you browse a specific instance while logged into your (different) instance?

I use Ice Cubes client on my iOS. And it has a feature called "Local timelines". I just add an interesting instances there and read it without any problems, just like if it was my local timeline.
