If an instance become overwhelmingly popular it could theoretically decide that users from other instances aren’t important and leave the federation. They would lose the users from elsewhere, but leave them free to fork the code and do their own thing. I’m not sure how this works with the licensing, but they were determined I’m sure they could go down the same path as Reddit.

Same here. I can actually see the Kbin communities when I search, but it is showing no content. Not sure what it looks like from the Kbin side.
Just came to this comm to check on this feature, glad to hear it! And thanks for working on this app, it looks great so far. Do you have a tip jar somewhere so I can support the app?
Yep same here, I'm hoping this is the watershed moment for Lemmy and I can start spending more on here and eventually stop using reddit (or be forced to when they take away my third party app). I don't generally create much content, but like participating in the community via comments, so it's hard to be a force for change when nothing is getting posted and no one is commenting.
It was spun out from the group behind the Discord that was very active when /r/CTH was shut down. I'd say Hexbear is very different from what /r/CTH was back in the day. You could be a succdem and generally feel at home on CTH, Hexbear tends towards full on ML.
(I say this as a commie who has been on hexbear since day 1)
I mostly followed /r/Ultralight, any other gram weenies here?
Whereabouts did you come across this beast? I’ve done the JDF a couple times, one of my favs.
