Hexbear has been getting a lot more attention and activity as of late, and while it is very fun to dunk on the new people posting on the site in bad faith, a post to appreciate the new good faith users contributing to the site seems like a great idea.
So, what new users do you appreciate, and what should other potential new users do to get the same reception?
You guys are the cool commie friends I wish to have, and I’m sad I haven’t met you guys before. Such a happy place to get some
GOOD OL’ MURICANfreedom from all the lib crap we endure daily ❤️✨Sup. I’m a new transplant from lemm.ee expecting them to defederate in the future, so figured I’d pop in.
I’ve been lurking for the last month or so and ya’ll seem cool. We might need to talk about the Deportation of the Kalmyks though.
EDIT: I found where to request new communities, so I removed my long post here and will repost it there in case you saw this before the edit.
Were you able to migrate your posts, subs, and comments? I didn’t realise lemm.ee was, well, what it is when I first joined. (I just liked the look of the double letters.)
Nah, I just kept my account on both places. I wanted to join Lemmy.ml but their sign ups were closed when I came over, so I chose lemm.ee because I couldn’t find a lot of other places still federated with both Hexbear and Lemmygrad. Unfortunately, they’re also fedded with exploding heads, but I’ve never actually seen a post from there. There’s some content I want to see from .world that I can’t get here now, like larger versions of some .ml communities. So I’m planning to just have 3 separate accounts with the same name to spread myself around and not worry too much about the disparity in subscriptions or anything.
Unfortunately, they’re also fedded with exploding heads, but I’ve never actually seen a post from there.
Exploding heads has been shut down, because nobody on Lemmy wanted to accept their bullshit (they made a long post about it before they finally closed), so actually nobody is federated with them anymore
Oh that explains it then.
Hexbear is a hell of a lot more based than the old /r/chapotraphouse ever was, you’re all spitting fire 🌋
I’m very tempted to make an account on this instance too, much easier to just open the Local feed that way.
Speaking for myself here, but one thing that always makes me happy is seeing more users who are into Star Trek, furries, into hobbies, or any combination of those.
Gotta say I have much enjoyed my time here so far
No weird socially conservative “communism”
No state department brained liberal “socialism”
Only good takes and unironically based people
when a hexbear spots liberals and nazbolsNo weird socially conservative “communism”
this is a subset of the western leftist they attack. i know this is counterintuitive. they’re basically a subset of breadtubers who play antihero / heel roles
they do a great job of making “NATOids” feel good about themselves

Been lurking for a few months but this is first online space I haven’t gotten those fucked vibes from
I’m still getting through my list of theory so I don’t feel confident joining certain conversations yet but I’d like to think being open-minded to deprogramming all the western propaganda bullshit I’ve ingested over a lifetime has helped me discover this community
Don’t feel like you can’t join conversations because you don’t have all the theory down comrade. We’ve all got plenty gaps in our knowledge and people are pretty cool about explaining things if required.
Say the wrong thing some time. Folk will set you right. Its a bit rough on the ego but nothing stamps out brain worms quite like a stern rebuke and as soon as you say “oh shit you are right” everything is good.
I’d almost consider it like an online anxiety lol. Mustering up the strength to not revert back to being a lurker after not expressing a thought succinctly and powering through the posting to stamp those worms out.
I had that until hexbear. Right now I’m possibly getting torn apart by a comrade who seems to have raead more than me. Otherwise how do I figure out what I don’t know? And this comrade is cool about it
It always helps when it’s an actual discussion instead of a bad faith debate
Welcome to all our new friends. Pls feed me beans
Finally made an account after lurking for the past few months. This community is one of the few corners of the internet that doesn’t give me psychic damage. Hello, comrades, thank you for the warm welcome and for being cool people on a cool bear website.
My only regret is that I wasn’t here sooner! I missed the CTH discord but now I’m glad to be back in the same boat
I’ve learned a lot from lurking the unfettered conversation that happens here, subjects that I’ve never heard of discussed in great detail. The shitposting is next level. Just a great mix of leftie content here. Also, the site logo is fire.
If you have questions, feel free to ask.
What is the best way to learn Spanish?
