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.

    To me the first one is an instance problem (ml, hexbear?), and not a lemmy problem. It has looked like they’ve been trying to separate the two as much as possible.

      Unfortunately, .ml is a default instance and the main devs instance, what happens there reflects on all of us

      But the Lemmy project and specific instances are not so easily separated. From the archived mastodon thread:

      lemmy.ml (the official Lemmy instance) resolves to the same IP address as lemmygrad.ml (the instance that contains the most disturbing material).

      Lemmy.ml also federates with lemmygrad, and the devs advertise lemmygrad on their “join lemmy” site.

      Do the Lemmy developers themselves run the lemmygrad.ml site? (Its main logo is a tank, incidentally.)

      So yeah, newcomers are presented with a join-lemmy site that promotes Lemmygrad and Lemmy ML, both of which appear to be run by the Lemmy devs.

      That pretty much makes it a Lemmy problem.
