Need help choosing a Funkwhale (and other fediverse) instance(s) (lemmy.ml)

I am looking to just dip my toes on a couple of other platforms. What I am finding while trying to choose an instance for Funkwhale (or Friendica, Pixelfed, etc) is that there is very little in the way of descriptions for finding something to match me and I would just be choosing at random.

I am using the official sites' server recommendations/lists to look through and am really getting no info that is helpful to me. Does anyone know of other resources?

My best option at this point is to use a throw away account to get on any server then spend just enough time interacting to find a good one and try to join it. Does that seem reasonable?

I self host my Mastodon instance but from what I've heard you need to check whether the instance owner's values and rules are somewhat compatible with yours

That does look like it is true for Mastodon. Maybe the others could use the idea going forward.
