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

Damn I’m shocked how small hexbear is, if I’d had to guess I woulda thought you guys were like 30% of the fediverse. How does 98% of the shitposting and best reaction gifs come from 2% of the user base? Touch grass sometimes, damn lmao

Chapo.chat/Hexbear were having ancient struggle sessions when Lemmy was new. We posted long, we posted often and we posted in isolation. It's like training in the hyperbolic time chamber for 4 whole years.

They merely adopted shitposting. We were born in it. Moulded by it. We didn't touch grass until we were grown adults.

Hexbear presents itself as “an immense accumulation of shitposts." Our investigation must therefore begin with the analysis of a pigpoop

We got all the trans people and trans people can't stop posting

This has gotta be by sub count not posts or comments.

Same thing would happen on reddit when they'd post graphs of most "active" subredidts and people would be confused about why 2000 people on a subreddit about an obscure political podcast had more discussion than the NBA subreddit.

It's cause this community is only one of very few on the Internet so there's more concentrated time if we want this particular environment

Whereas the user base and culture of most other Lemmy instances can be found in many places

Yeah if you are a lemmy.world user you are probably still spending most your time on Reddit. Very normie tastes and Reddit has better cat gifs

Given how many of them seem to complain about hexbear emotes, its almost like they see the emotes as a negative.

this whole site is a five year plan to develop productive forces for protracted people's posting
