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.

This is so stupid. Did everyone stop using ballpoint pens because the inventor was a nazi? No.
At least one people involved with the ballpoint pen was Jewish, so there’s that.
but… I wouldn’t drive a Tesla because of Elon Musk.
Would you drive a Ford? Because you should read up on Henry Ford’s beliefs if so.
How about BMW? Wanna talk about their history? Actually, give me a car company you like, and we’ll just dig into that one.
I wouldn’t drive a Tesla because they’re shitty cars.
But by buying a tesla youre giving elon money and promoting his product which is much more closely tied to his views than lemmy is to the devs views.
Ballpoint pens don’t spread nazi propaganda. I don’t know where you thought this was going.
Have you used a pen before? They definitely can spread propaganda…
Well, at least pens don’t have a proprietary algorithm by said nazi to make it not function when you want to write something that is not nazi propaganda, unlike things like Twitter, where the far-right is being boosted.
