Why can't I view hexbear.net communities on Voyager app and is there a way to fix it? (self.nostupidquestions)

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.

Wow. Thanks for the info. Seems like a place I don't want to be after all.

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

There's a reddit.world? I don't think I would choose that. I don't know, what you (and the few others) posted about hexbear seemed negative? I don't understand Marxism or anything like that. It just seemed to me like everyone was against it and I figured that I wouldn't be welcome there because I'm not sure I share their views, and I'm not sure how it works on the app either, if I can have both sides available to view at the same time.
