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

It’s so uncanny to be a fly on the wall in other parts of the fediverse, I started subbing to a bunch of hexbear comms only after seeing people with an axe to grind against hexbear specifically and getting curious. A vote for bart is a vote for anarchy.
Great job, comrade! I’ve all but abandoned lemmy.ml, it was getting too frustrating to deal with the constant .world anticommunism.
Honestly the main reason I’ve been meaning to make a hexbear account has been to access the dunk tank, because lemmy.ml blocks it now
That was the catalyst for me doing the same! I was only on Lemmy.ml before it started blocking the dunk tank.
lmao why tf would they block that community specifically?
A couple of Lemmy mods had a turn in the dunk tank
Lemmy co-dev and noted transphobe tutonic came in to defend one of the .ml admins who was getting dunked on for defending CSAM, got dunked on himself and so blocked the whole comm.
Could just join a random small instance that don’t block instances/comms on hexbear to continue being a fly-on-the-wall and access dunktank.
Spreadsheet of instances listing blocked instances and blocked by (BI and BB): https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
I was thinking of that, leaning towards just making a hexbear alt and continuing to moderate /c/transgender on the side.
