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.

It was made very clear from the start that .ml was not meant to be a 'default instance'.

Too bad for all of us that it is though.

But lemmy.ml isn't the most active, nor does it host the most active communities

If anything is too bad, it's .world being so prominent.

Half this comm's activity is spreading FUD about the platform and being a gathering place for all the people developing their alternatives to huddle and advertise those.

How was it default? I've been here for years and in all that time, it was never default. It was one of the most popular, and the most widely shared, but that's not the same at all.
