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.

So far I haven’t found a better alternative. Lemmy communities are already much smaller than their Reddit counterparts.
Personally, I don’t plan to venture into even more remote locations. It defeats the community part of it…
You can access the same communities on kbin. Does that change anything though?
kbin is abandonware: https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/112929613414300764

Then how about mbin?
If I could use a single identity across the whole Fediverse, I would. Unfortunately, that’s not a reality yet.
So we’re forced to choose instances (i.e. “home servers”). And for me, that means I’d only choose to stick with the largest ones, as they have the highest chances of providing me with a sort of permanence.
I don’t see any big mbin instances:
It’s a shame kbin.social is no more. I guess Fedia.io is as big as it gets now.
You can select “All” instead of “Local” and you will see all instances that are federated with yours. (Not the ones defederated).
I wish we could do the same in communities that have the same name. “All” gaming and you could see every instances gaming community. Or select “Local” to see your instance only.
I actually use “Subscribed” because I don’t want to see posts from random communities. Haha…
That answers that.
