Just wanted to share a thread for those who don’t regularly venture out of the bear site. Can’t cross-post since it’s defederated. It’s small but has some numbers about community counts, active users, etc and links to more info from https://lemmyverse.net/. Thought it was notable that Hexbear shows up no matter how you sort it.
OP image is community count sorted by active users in the last month.
Edit: sorted by comments
I would assume most Hexbears are at least in their mid 20s, if not early 30s. I know we even have some older folks. Hexbear is many things, but a community of edgy teens is not one of them.
Not that I have an account on Hexbear, but I spend a lot of time here (and enjoy it). I’m mid-forties, college degree, well-traveled (mostly North America, Europe and Asia). I have only grown more frustrated with liberals the older I get.
Consider making an account here. I used to be on .ml, found myself spending most of my time here, and made an account. You can split time, or just stay here.
Personally, I enjoy my time here much more.
I’ve considered it. I don’t really want to have multiple accounts, and for better or for worse, .ml is still more broadly federated.
That’s fair! I do consider the benefits of not having constant struggle sessions like on .ml to outweigh a decrease in content. If the best content and comrades are federated with Hexbear, and the worst aren’t, the good posts we lose are worth the tradeoff for me.
I’m old as fuck no comment on specifics tho
Time marches on, it’s been 10 years since the subreddit went down, we’re all big boys now
Iunno, I got here from GZD getting shuttered
