That explains why so many hexbear defenders in SJW comms are on different instances (usually .ml). They literally can’t see those comms from their hexbear accounts.
I can access hexbear communities, at https://sh.itjust.works/instances only test.hexbear.net is listed which leads to 502 anyway. Am I doing something wrong?
It makes sense, all the posts I find from hexbear are a couple of months old. It is a bit annoying, because when I hit explore in Voyager and sort by size, thalf of the communities are from hexbear… Maybe @TheDude@sh.itjust.works has an idea why it behaves like this?
Hexbear used to be federated with sh.itjust.works. if you defederate, the old posts still continue to exist, hence the communities also still continuing to show.
SJW blocks them already.
SJW? Social Justice Warrior? Is that an instance?
sh.itjust.works shit just works
That should be SIW…
It’s “Shit Just Works”
Shh… It just works.
It is Sh.Itjust.Works and the joke has now been improved by an explanation.
@sh.itjust.works
Really? Last time they federated with us they’re the ones who ended up defederating and I thought that was the end of it
They’re mutally defederating.

If you want to see what it’s about, just visit hexbear.net directly.

I tried removing a bunch of the old hexbear communities. Did that help at all?
Also sorting communities by total subscribers is a bad system. It’s more useful to sort by monthly active users imo.
You can use lemmyverse to sort by active users.

Check the blocked tab. Also, when servers defed, old posts and comms stay behind.
