I see a lot of communities hosted on hexbear.net on trending but when I click the link it says there’s nothing there. Why is this the case? I’m using the Voyager app, but I’ not sure if that has anything to do with it. Is there a way to make them visible?

    Because .world’s admins pre-emptively defederated from Hexbear as a “last resort” (even though, by definition, it was their “first resort”).

    About a year ago: Lemmy.world Hexbear Statement

    Yesterday, we received information about the planned federation by Hexbear. The announcement thread can be found here: https://www.hexbear.net/post/280770.

    Defederation should only be considered as a last resort. However, based on their comments and behavior, no positive outcomes can be expected.

        Ok. If I were forced to choose between hexbear.net and reddit.world, I wouldn’t choose .world. But you do you.
