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.

    What is the issue with user privacy? These do not sound like valid concerns to me.

      This is all quite old drama, and the issue itself is fixed now, but at one point someone kicked off about how if you uploaded a picture to Lemmy, there was no easy way to delete it (you could delete your post, but the image would still be there at whatever URL was created for it, and it wasn’t even that easy for admins to find and remove it) - so I’m guessing that it stems from that.

        Its older than that, and still ongoing. The devs doubled down on how GDPR (and user data privacy rights in general) do not matter to them

                He admitted it at the end of the ticket

                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.

      it’s federated. It’s the only way it can work. Everything still on that ist must suffer from the same thing. Federation means handing stuff to someone else. Once that’s done, it’s out of your hands forever.

        Correct but fedi is supposed to be the public forum of the future.

        Social media worked the same… you handed your shit posts to faceberg or sundar the creep, do people think when they deleted their “creation” it was removed?

        That cant be the issue because the site is called joinfediverse and everything it lists is federated.

        No that cant be why they do not list lemmy. The other services there federate in the same way.
