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?
Hexbear is tired of having to debate everyone?

I’m not trying to join with the popular kids in being extraneously mean to Hexbear for no reason, just giving an honest answer to someone who was asking a pretty sensible question. But saying they are free of the constant fighting that plagues the rest of the Lemmy experience is like saying you like living at the bottom of the ocean because the sunrises are nice.
I said I don’t see constant fighting, struggle sessions crop up from time to time, like the one you linked from several months ago, and moreover these are the kinds of struggles from having humans together, not justifying the existence of Marxists and Anarchists. Pretty clearly a different matter entirely.
Elsewhere on Lemmy, liberal vs leftist fighting is constant. This happens infrequently on Hexbear, when a liberal walks in, but this is usually entirely avoidable. Furthermore, bigotry is taken far more seriously than it is on many other instances, which is a big bonus for me.
Why did I even bother lol
“There’s no fighting here. Sometimes, the wrong type of person walks in, and we threaten to stab them with an icepick unless they leave. But no fighting.”
I think you’re being very dismissive of what I’m trying to say. Hexbear is a space for Marxists and Anarchists, that’s a part of the rules. It doesn’t hide that at all, and good-faith visitors are welcomed even if they aren’t Marxists or Anarchists. The English speaking internet is overwhelmingly dominated by liberal narratives, so it’s genuinely nice to have a space for leftists. As a result, there is very little fighting, except for occasional instance drama.
I don’t see why a space made by Leftists for Leftists needs to be accomodating for people hostile to Leftists, or why enforcing those rules is tantamount to “fighting.”
I’ve decided not to argue with you about this.
I don’t see the point in doing so, you aren’t really a Hexbear user to begin with. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say about it other than that it appears you wish they were more open to non-Leftists when that’s antithetical to the purpose of the instance, as a safe space for Leftists.
Have a good one.
