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.

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)

Or in other words, they're much less likely to just shut down without notice.
