Where do I find a list of local instances? (lemmy.world)

I wasn't sure where to ask so I chose here. The other day I saw a post encouraging people to spread the load on lemmy.world and jump onto other instances.

I've decided to take one for the tea and do it even though my account is like 2 weeks old 🫡

However, how do I find physically local instances? In the post mentioned above someone gave a link that shows some sort of a map(?) where such information could be found. Could someone hook me up with it please?

You can search by keywords and language. I try different variations of my region's names, smaller and larger local region names, abbreviations, and was able to find them quite easily.
