I don’t know what you consider medium sized, but lemmy.sdf.org is.
My instance(endlesstalk.org) is very small, but you are welcome there.
I think most instances besides beehaw.org are federated with lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. So you should be able to look at join-lemmy or lemmyverse for servers to join.
If you want to check if a instance is defederating a specific instance, you can go to /instance on the instance and look under Blocked Instances

It’s complicated, but in a nutshell, their users have faced discrimination and unpleasant communication from some of the other instances, hence they decided to wall themselves in (it’s a very inclusive community, so it’s a bit ironic)
And hence the circlejerk effect made it’s way to lemmy, great…
Wasn’t defederation from world temporary?
Yeah, until there are better tools than defederation to limit communication between instances. Might take a while though and I think they only said they would re-evaluate it, so no guarantee(more detail in the link above)
Presumably still is.
The earth and sun and milky way are temporary. Like these things, the Beehaw defederation is ongoing and has no predetermined end.
Such an eloquent response
It’s a safe space in the literal sense. They defederated to keep out hate speech cross contamination.
use https://federation-checker.vercel.app/ to check is the instance you are considering is blocked by others. and what the instace blocks.
I’m not confident that tool works perfectly, unless I’m using it wrong. It shows Lemmy.world being blocked by no one, but it also shows that beehaw blocks Lemmy.world.
I’d imagine most of the regional Feddits are still federated - list here.
lemmyverse.net shows the top instances based on size.
Among them are sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee.
lemm.ee is solid
Unilem has a policy of not defederating from other instances. As a user you are expected to block things you don’t want to see.
