I went through all the instances listed on lemmyverse.net and added almost all of the specialized ones I found. The list is about 3 times as large now! Definitely getting Old Web vibes. Is it time to start making webrings again?
Here's the additions:

Location/language focused:
(For some of these it's a little unclear to me whether they should be associated with a country or a language. Please let me know if anything needs to be corrected.)
Ostrobothnia? - pappdi.in - "Väälkumi ti hanje Lemmy institution which is intended for Osterbottins, Finnish Swedes, Finns in general, and other loose people." Translation help please?

I'm currently getting this when trying to load it:

Once things are running smoothly, please make a new thread (not comment) to announce it so that people subscribed to this magazine will see it.
