Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives. Their GitHub README explains why.

Could you, like, maybe post the explanation we're supposed to be discussing for context instead of making us go search for it?
Why was Lemmy removed from the list of fediverse alternatives?
Lemmy was removed due to:
- reports of how the developers handle certain types of content (post removed, view an incomplete archive)
- the behavior of its creator
- how the sotware itself handles users' privacy.
Keep in mind that software is by no means "neutral". The people who make it make decisions about how it works based on their beliefs and goals. That's why, for example, you can't quote posts on Mastodon (at least for now), but you can do so on other fediverse platforms.
God damn it, of all the garbage people to quote, why did it have to be LaRouche
Thanks! Damn, maybe I should move to Mbin. Anyone know if there's a good mobile client for it?
I'll have to check that out, thanks!
