Hexbear is far more likely to have users entering and using our comms, being another large socialist instance, albeit dedicated to left unity rather than Marxism like ourselves. I think there is enough of a culture change that we need to have a pinned post for hexbear users coming here explaining what kind of content/attitudes they might see here/what different rules to follow

There should also be a section dedicated to explaining to lemmygrad users to respect hexbear comm rules and what to expect from their users etc.

I think this would help ease any potential cross site struggle sessions

    To be honest, I don’t think it will be an issue. Although the culture of posts on hexbear is different, I think it is pretty compatible. Maybe just mention things like that you should add CW even for meat/non-vegan products. But that is the only significant difference I can think of. Looking forward to having more comrades here.

      I disagree a little, you cannot post the same things about anarchists in hexbear that you can here for instance, they are far more shitposty, etc.

        I agree on shitposting etc. that is what I meant by culture of post being different. But sure you cannot post anti-anarchist stuff on hexbear, but I doubt anyone here is going to post specifically on hexbear with anti-anarchist content, or at least I hope.

          Not go there specifically to do that, but if someone from lemmygrad doesnt quite understand the differences between the two sites it could lead them starting arguments around it in hexbear comms etc. i don’t think this is super critical, it wouldn’t be a huge issue or anything, I just want the transition to be as smooth as possible, a lot of hexbear users are skeptical about federation and I think it would be nice for them
