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.

Lemmy was removed due to:

reports of how the developers handle certain types of content (post removed, view an incomplete archive)

the behavior of its creator

how the sotware itself handles users' privacy.

All valid concerns.

What is the issue with user privacy? These do not sound like valid concerns to me.

Yeah, seems like it's just how ActivityPub works / how federated networks are.

Recently came across this very interesting writeup: https://gitlab.com/spritely/ocappub/blob/master/README.org (via https://social.coop/@cwebber/113639985634239856)

No that cant be why they do not list lemmy. The other services there federate in the same way.
