None, it's all 1 big network. Each instance is a different flavor of the same thing.

Tangent: I don't understand why existing in an instance somehow makes a user any different than anyone else. Yet, I hear people saying things like "typical lemm.ml user" or crap about Hexbear users. It's like people are taking the ideologies of the instance owners and labeling anyone in it to have the same ideologies. Where did this come from?

I generally agree, but hexbear exists mostly as a place where r/chapoTrapHouse users went after it got banned from reddit, so it tends to have a specific type of user. (not that I agree with de-federating them, despite not being exactly aligned with them politically)
