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.

    Doesn’t matter if you stay away from .ml.

    And they are. They have delisted Lemmy as a recommendation.

    Kind of valid, but open source and open license negates a lot of that.

    It’s really bad PR. I don’t recommend Lemmy to people because of this removed.

    You think anything else on the Fediverse is better?

    If their servers delete content you want deleted, yes.

      It’s the case for Lemmy

      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.
