jointhefediverse.net - Why was Lemmy removed from the list of fediverse alternatives? (github.com)

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 mentioned l [email protected] already

The alternatives are there, most of the people just don't seem to care enough to leave the .ml ones

Several hexbear communities are also in the top 50.

Are they? I see 2.6k monthly active users for [email protected], which is definitely lower than top 50, seems more like 80 or 90, or even past 100 (currently on my phone, can't really count accurately, and Lemmyverse doesn't have row numbers)

I do use all the ML alternatives, but engagement is notably lower. I almost wish LW would just bite the bullet and defederate from ML.

Yeah, maybe more like top 100 for hexbear. I am on mobile too.

Yes, I guess for tech people the political stances are irrelevant, they just want the most active communities

Having access to the devs via [email protected] and [email protected] is probably why

I get the feeling that even if you got what you wanted, you would still complain about .ml

Right now, you could block .ml personally. Have you blocked .ml?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

I have not, no. There are still some technology communities that are only present on ML. Outside of those, I do not interact with ML.

And what's with your prima donna attitude? What exactly is the problem with calling out an instance run by genocide white-washing tankie scum?

Everyone should defederate from that toxic shithole. It serves no purpose that isn’t duplicated elsewhere only without the heavy-handed admin/mod team.

I really don't understand why they won't, they did it with lemmygrad and hexbear but with .ml they wanna take this kid glove approach. The best theory I got is they don't want to because of the more active communities on there ig
