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

    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.
