How do you get a random site you like to join the fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

Suppose there's this site I really like, and I like the fediverse, and I think it would be awesome if they joined the fediverse, to benefit everyone involved. Is it like how it was in the Zorro movie where they vote California into the US, Zorro swipes all the voting boxes with a Z, and everyone cheers, or is it not possible for just any random schmoe site to join?

It's more of a hypothetical question, but I've heard someone on here put forward the idea that this site should be in the fediverse, which inspired the question.

Yeah, it’s going to be tough. It looks like they’re using custom software for it, which means basically the most realistic path to get there would be to toss the site and switch to something like Wordpress which I am guessing they don’t want to do.
