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.

    you are aware that you aren’t restricted to things on your instance right?

    I’m not new to the Fediverse, so yes, I’m aware of that, and also of the drama that comes with defederation (lmao)

    also who cares how big an instance is?

    I’d only choose to stick with the largest ones, as they have the highest chances of providing me with a sort of permanence.

    Or in other words, they’re much less likely to just shut down without notice.
