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
Basically yes but if you don't want to gaze at a sea of liberals constantly your only real options are here and lemmygrad.ml
What's lemmygrad, just other marxist community?
It's a more explicitly Marxist-Leninist instance instead of left unity like Hexbear and has more serious comms than shit posting.
Its similar to Hexbear but explicitly Marxist-Lennist focused.
HB is anti-sectarian, grad is strictly ML and generally more "serious." HB is more fun to browse so I picked it over grad when branching from my older ML account.
