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.

    it’s federated. It’s the only way it can work. Everything still on that ist must suffer from the same thing. Federation means handing stuff to someone else. Once that’s done, it’s out of your hands forever.

      Correct but fedi is supposed to be the public forum of the future.

      Social media worked the same… you handed your shit posts to faceberg or sundar the creep, do people think when they deleted their “creation” it was removed?

      That cant be the issue because the site is called joinfediverse and everything it lists is federated.
