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.

You can access the same communities on kbin. Does that change anything though?

But mbin?

[–] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Then how about mbin?

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 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?

[–] teohhanhui@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

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

also who cares how big an instance is?

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.

https://fedia.io/ is the 'big' mbin server, but they appear to have closed registrations at some point

[–] haverholm@kbin.earth 4 points 7 months ago

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

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

https://fedia.io/ has 413 monthly active users, how big do you need the instance to be, especially when all the content is available there too?

[–] kat@orbi.camp 3 points 7 months ago

Didn't they close registration tho? Lol

[–] teohhanhui@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] deus@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

It's a shame kbin.social is no more. I guess Fedia.io is as big as it gets now.

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

That answers that.
