Yep same here, I’m hoping this is the watershed moment for Lemmy and I can start spending more on here and eventually stop using reddit (or be forced to when they take away my third party app). I don’t generally create much content, but like participating in the community via comments, so it’s hard to be a force for change when nothing is getting posted and no one is commenting.

It was spun out from the group behind the Discord that was very active when /r/CTH was shut down. I’d say Hexbear is very different from what /r/CTH was back in the day. You could be a succdem and generally feel at home on CTH, Hexbear tends towards full on ML.

(I say this as a commie who has been on hexbear since day 1)
