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
For some reason that's still beyond my understanding, Sh.itjust.works and programming.dev are churning pits of chuddery. When they were still attached to Hexbear, every interaction I can remember with people with those suffixes ranged from

Sh.itjust.works is just reactionaries thinking they're funny for naming their instance the SJW instance and programming.dev is filled with STEMlords.
Those and lemm.ee
