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.

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?

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.

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

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 4 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Didn't they close registration tho? Lol

[–] teohhanhui@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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