jointhefediverse.net seems to be a commonly linked resource for directing people to join the Fediverse.

Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives. Their GitHub README explains why.

Why was Lemmy removed from the list of fediverse alternatives?

Lemmy was removed due to:

reports of how the developers handle certain types of content (post removed, view an incomplete archive)
the behavior of its creator
how the sotware itself handles users' privacy.

Keep in mind that software is by no means "neutral". The people who make it make decisions about how it works based on their beliefs and goals. That's why, for example, you can't quote posts on Mastodon (at least for now), but you can do so on other fediverse platforms.

Thanks! Damn, maybe I should move to Mbin. Anyone know if there's a good mobile client for it?
