Comment on Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities

  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

        When you say “It isn’t big”, you’re comparing it to reddit? That would basically dwarf all Lemmy instances combined lmao.

        This post was comparing Lemmy instances with other Lemmy instances. Hexbear was its own website for a while, and only decided to start trying federation like a few months after the whole reddit thing. They’re fine on their own even, so I don’t know why people keep acting as if they necessarily want to be federated.

    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.

        They are more “community” than the ex-redditor secluded island that is most of the others instances, that’s definitely the side effect of age.

      All of which are super politically charged

        Depends, the /c/games@hexbear.net is politically charged as expect at any game community, what I found more interesting is the hatred for gamers(this one is deserved).

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