jointhefediverse.net - Why was Lemmy removed from the list of fediverse alternatives?

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.

I don't see it on that page. Going to "See all servers" lists "lemmy.ml" at a random position in the list. Looking at "Join a server" and using "Generic" or "All topics" also lists it in a random position. Am I missing something?

If you use "Most active", it will shows up after lemm.ee and the other big instances. So not default, but would still be recommended to new joiners

Well to me that doesn't fit the "it's default" description.

While looking at that, I couldn't see lemmy.world on that page. I found that join-lemmy.org now excludes instances with >30% user share in order to dampen centralisation. Which makes sense I guess.
