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.

Its older than that, and still ongoing. The devs doubled down on how GDPR (and user data privacy rights in general) do not matter to them
Source? I did a cursory search for “GDPR” on the GitHub issues and can’t find anything like that.
Anyway, this seems to be their more recent stance:

I dont know what you mean. If you search for GDPR (including closed tickets) in both the Lemmy and lemmy-ui repos, you’ll see lots of bugs that make running Lemmy illegal for instance admins.
Here’s one particularly egregious example

Uhh… The other dev. Yeah, he’s obviously wrong.
He admitted it at the end of the ticket
What’s wrong with that
That’s pretty much it
Wait, what? Can you elaborate?
