Lemmy is a broad federation of different islands, or sites. You can visit these sites from other sites and comment on their communities, or stay on your own island.
Hexbear is federated with some sites, like Lemmygrad, and defederated from others, like Blahaj.
Lemmygrad is its own equivalent to Hexbear, and people on Lemmygrad can and do participate in Hexbear discussions, and vice-versa.
People just like me ๐
We love our Grad comrades
I like to consider myself hexbear adjacent. love the emojis and solidarity with all y'all!
I have a (mostly dormant) hexbear account!
I use this one because of the age, read it and weep nerds
There are dozens of us!
When I joined reddit it was really small. Digg had just started to implode and being a 'redditor' was pretty cool. Not a lot of people on it, and those that were there were lefty nerds. Lemmygrad reminds me of that. I like that it's small, niche, and the people are awesome.
I like it too!
I'm helping!
