  No, it’s just a big community by itself already. So while some big instances have it blocked, they have enough users to just have activity from their own instance.

    It isn’t big though. They just get kicked out of everywhere else they go for being disruptive assholes, so for every community there’s a hexbear duplicate

      Hexbear was there before the reddit exodus, so this make no sense.

      Please verify your claims before saying nonsense.

        Because they - specifically Chapo trap house-got all of their communities banned from Reddit years before.

        You are not making the argument you think you are

      Duplicate with half the posts and a third of comments.

        Games is the largest games com by far in terms of posts and comments (150k comments and 15k post vs 71k comments and 3k posts on lemmy world…

        News has most posts than any other news and about as many comments as lemmyworld.

        Politics has the most posts of any politics coms, but far less comments than lemmyworld’s.

        History basically has no competitors (150k comments vs 7k for the next largest)

        Movies also has no competitors (75k comments vs 9k for the next largest).

        Videos has 56k comments vs lemmyworld’s 13k

        Music has 45k comments vs lemmyworld’s 6k

        Urbanism has 44k comments vs fuckcar’s 19k

        Granted, given Hexbear has been around for 4 years, the number of comments/posts is largely a side effect of age. But it also means calling them duplicates is probably misleading. OTOH, the main trans community there has been very active recently, dwarfing all other trans communities combined.

      lol, what disruption did they do when LW banned them? Or did they just get banned for being leftists?
