If you read the rest of that sentence, you’ll (maybe) figure out that there isn’t any comparative statements there- just pointing out that hexbear mostly originated from users banned from Reddit, for being toxic and disruptive.
Nah I’d say this is right on par with the philosophy of the instance. Lemm.ee is moreso infrastructure for interacting with the fediverse than a specific community
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
Yeah it will, that’s the problem with using community count as a measure for the activity of a given instance.
Hexbear is interesting because like you said, they’re very self contained.
