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

      Also they couldn’t handle reddit anymore so they came here and immediatly started trying to recreate reddit.

          Also they hate reddit because of capitalism but don’t realize that and consider themselves capitalists.

          "I hate how this website has gone to shit, injected adds into everything, and censored everything that isn’t squarely within the Overton window.

          Time to pack up and go to a website coded and maintened by literal communists and call everybody who thinks the democrats suck tankies."

        By embracing BBS Forum Web 1.0 thought we continue to frustrate The Reddit Reconstructionists. I’ve lived in the late 90s through mid 2000s online and can say, it took the concerted effort of MySpace Brian, the Facebook Android, whoever sold Twitter to Elon Musk and a whole hell of a lot of money being intentionally poured in to defeat the force that was enteenched in the internet, it can be rebuilt and they don’t have the sauce to do it again, let alone reddit wannabes. Like a tree planted on water.
