You should do any similar searches by using the Fediverse.network site. Select the type of instance you are interested in, there's sorting by many factors, size being one.

You can check each Instance listed for details -- including their location and their hosting location.

Here's a list of Write.freely instances -- sorted by the number of Statuses they contain. (a good indication of an active place).

And this page shows TeDomum.net's details -- including location and hosting arrangements as described above.

Creating this post really shows me how nice MarkDown is -- and how deprived people in plain Vanilla masto instances are... 😄
