Add more fediverse alternatives

[stefanbohacek]

See Table of Fediverse replacements.

A few that were recently suggested to me, Lotide and Pinetta, don't have a dedicated page on joinfediverse.wiki.

that is only a small list, there are ALOT more I have listed here https://joinfediverse.wiki/Fediverse_project_branding

This is great, thank you for sharing @wakest!

[wakest]

you are welcome!

I think Lemmy in particular would be worth adding to the "If you like... Reddit/HN" row of the table - since it's second in user/server count only to Mastodon (going by https://fediverse.observer/)

Hi @josephrocca, thank you for the suggestion! Please see the FAQ on why Lemmy was removed.

I can't see the devs having as much control over the platform as I think you and some others do (relative to the community in general, and server admins in particular, for example), and it does seem a shame given that Lemmy seems to be "taking off" and might be our one shot (at least for a while) at breaking Reddit's grip over that type of community/software, but despite the disagreement, I respect that it's your site and you're making the call based on what you think is best for the fediverse in the long term.

Thank you, I appreciate your understanding.

I know there are some instances that distance themselves from the original developer. I am now thinking, it might make sense to perhaps list a few instances for each platform. That way I could include Lemmy while steering people away from the most problematic instances that use it.

Let me give this some more thought.

[josephrocca]

(You've likely already heard about it, but just in case - this has been really useful to me for researching instances: https://lemmyverse.net - includes uptime, activity, etc.)

[stefanbohacek]

I did not, but this is very useful, thank you!
