FOSSDLE PieFedjointhefediverse.net - Why was Lemmy removed from the list of fediverse alternatives?
submitted by teohhanhui
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.

FWIW: I used join-lemmy.org and found lemmy.ml, submitted my registration, but then checked on Wikipedia and it says lemmy.world is the largest instance, so I wanted to cancel my registration for lemmy.ml (there's no such feature according to the admin). Anyway, that's how I ended up here on lemmy.world 😆
Did not notice any of the political leanings until just a few days ago, so it's definitely not obvious unless you look deeper into things.
As I said, you're new here.
I bring up the topic regularly on /r/Redditalternatives: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1fmuk7o/post_to_address_the_usual_criticism_about_lemmy/
Every time I mention Lemmy there, I point to discuss.online and sopuli.xyz: https://reddit.com/comments/1hxduw2/comment/m68fhsc
It is also part of a dedicated post on !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca : https://lemmy.world/post/21568033
We could probably improve its visibility.
You can have multiple accounts on multiple instances. In fact, I recommend it. No need to delete your ml account, just keep it as a backup or curate a different feed on it.
I'm way too lazy for that. I don't even have more than 1 email account. I use the same username everywhere lol...
