Now that the old Hexbear fork has been officially abandoned, this community will be used as a space for meta-discussion on the site itself.
szmer.info is the largest Polish Lemmy instance at 28 daily users, and it federates with Hexbear.
Their 7 most active communities:
urbanists.social, urbanism focused Mastodon instance run by a communist
blackqueer.life, Mastodon instance for black/queer folks run by a communist
midwest.social, left-friendly Lemmy instance focused on the US midwest
Those all sound amazing
The fediverse is absolutely popping with good communities. It's why I'd prefer a blocklist rather than an allow list.
lemmy.VG is an anarchist, vegan-only Lemmy server existing to provide the vegan community safe access to the Fediverse, and they federate with Hexbear and Lemmygrad. It hosts https://lemmy.vg/c/vegancirclejerk, which has 231 daily users.
https://lemy.lol is a small (43 users a day) Lemmy instance that federates with Hexbear and Lemmygrad and blocks Threads. Their admin seems open to learning more about gender, and they have built off of @CannotSleep420@hexbear.net's lemmy-bot.
is there a history with sh.itjust.works? I just want to subscribe to https://sh.itjust.works/c/unions for union news
edit: oop, just read the comment in the defederation nomination post. lmao nevermind
Looks like images from lemmy.blahaj.zone show up as *removed externally hosted image* (see https://hexbear.net/post/306609). Can we get that domain whitelisted for images like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml are?
lemmy.blahaj.zone is a general purpose lemmy instance for queer and gender diverse folk, and their allies. They like our pronouns feature, and they have disabled downvotes like Hexbear has.
To name another mastodon instance, I'd personally love to see kolektiva.social added. It's the biggest anti-colonial/anarchist mastodon instance sitting at 36k users and for many leftists like me it was sort of the default landing page during the very first twitter exodus. Lemmygrad federated with them as well fwiw.
kolektiva.social/Kolektiva is an anti-colonial anarchist collective that offers federated social media to anarchist collectives and individuals in the fediverse. It has 3,489 monthly users

feddit.de is a German-speaking alternative, independent and self-managed space for free exchange of views, beyond the control of large tech companies. They have upgraded to Lemmy v0.19.0, meaning that their users can decide for themselves which instances to block, in the marketplace of ideas.
voltage.vn microinstance for a guy from vietnam who posts interesting engineering content.
Hey, is there a good reason we don’t federate with https://slrpnk.net/ ? I just ask because it’s an anarchist environmentalist instance with no porn and no bigotry (that I’ve seen). I haven’t spent much time analysing it but from first impressions it looks to be both fairly active and feels like it may have users who would be more or less aligned with hexbear even if they are federated with some worse instances.
https://lemmy.tf/ is Just Another Lemmy Server with 10 monthly users that federates with Hexbear and Lemmygrad. Their most active community is https://lemmy.ml/c/folkpunk@lemmy.tf where they say "Nazis punks fuck off" in their sidebar
lemmy.sdfeu.org is from the same crowd that runs lemmy.sdf.org (just from another CDN). The latter is federated but not the first.
Any chance of linking them? They have a no defederation policy, but I can't see your posts from my main instance.

Reason: The internet is a greyer, duller place without them.
