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.

    Nutomic and Dessalines may be tankies, but they’re our tankies

        Same, I am very opposed to their views, but they make this platform, so I respect them as FOSS developers

          And the day that something bad in general about the code can be said? That’s when developers fork. It means something different to us.

        They are literally developing the platform we are on. Sure, I don’t agree with their opinion at all, but it doesn’t mean I can’t respect their work.

          That’s because you choose to. You could easily move to mbin, for example. This post made me realize I had been holding back on it without a good reason.

          Doing a pretty shit job at it.

          I used to use reddit. Those devs made the same mistake, and I dont respect either.

              Not listening to to community. We are the content creators on reddit. Reddit should have done as we asked. They threw us under the bus.

              Lemmy devs dont listen to their community. Instance admins point out serious legal issues regarding moderation, and they say they don’t fix those bugs because user privacy doesn’t matter.

                He admitted it he was wrong at the end of the ticket and fixed accordingly: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2384#issuecomment-1978857727

                Unfortunately there was some miscommunication in this issue and we failed to get to the root cause. In fact the Lemmy backend has an option to delete all content when an account is deleted. This used to be the default behaviour but was changed in 0.19 so you need to set a parameter delete_content. We failed to add a checkbox for this parameter to lemmy-ui.

                However the checkbox is added now in #2385 and will be included in the next Lemmy release. Other frontends and clients may also need to adjust the delete_account api call.

          As soon as Sublinks is live I will.

          Lemmy is making the same mistake as Reddit, and they’ll be an exodus when we have an alternative
