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.

        If I could use a single identity across the whole Fediverse, I would. Unfortunately, that’s not a reality yet.

        So we’re forced to choose instances (i.e. “home servers”). And for me, that means I’d only choose to stick with the largest ones, as they have the highest chances of providing me with a sort of permanence.

        I don’t see any big mbin instances:

          You can select “All” instead of “Local” and you will see all instances that are federated with yours. (Not the ones defederated).

          I wish we could do the same in communities that have the same name. “All” gaming and you could see every instances gaming community. Or select “Local” to see your instance only.

            I actually use “Subscribed” because I don’t want to see posts from random communities. Haha…

            Fair point, but at this time, I’m on mastodon.social and lemmy.world, i.e. some of the largest instances. I simply don’t have much motivation to migrate.

          kbin.earth and other kbin instances have migrated to mbin. Only the domain names remain the same.

          you are aware that you aren’t restricted to things on your instance right? what your talking about is literally what the fediverse is. also who cares how big an instance is?

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

            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.
