Hello users of Hexbear with the upcoming version of lemmy 0.19.4 we will be able to change local communities' federation to local only however it is experimental as they are developing private communities.
In a previous federation discussion, we stated that we would temporarily remove lemm.ee from our allow-list until hexbear communities and users have the means by which to set hexbear communities to not federate out, restricting it to hexbear users. Now that this tool is available, we will refederate with lemm.ee after we complete the update.
Please use this post to discuss federation in general, as well as provide feedback to the hexbear mod and admin team in regard to federation.

Addendum:
Anyone interested in helping these communities become more active? They are at risk of being removed if they remain inactive

Consider this my kick in the butt to get the polyam community more active I didn't realize it had been so long since anyone posted there. Oops. Life has been ridiculous lately.
Also if anyone does want to please mod them I clearly could use the help and I really do want it to be a real community eventually
Yeah best of Hexbear never really got off the ground mb
no worries if you or no one else wants to step in you are welcome to lock it (set it to only moderators can post) and we consider it shuttered until someone wants to take it back up
thats a great policy
i will do this with mycology
For a moment I thought /c/librehab was "libre hab". I was thinking it was about using free-software/free-hardware projects for home automation like Home Assistant.
I've been here for almost a year and seen the name many times. Never even crossed my mind that it would be anything but home automation.
What happens to the posts and comments in those comms if the comms get removed?
If the moderator wants to lock them they can be shuttered as is otherwise they can be removed. Removed communities can be restored at any time they are just not visible/interactable to users. In short the posts and comments cannot be seen/interacted with unless restored at a later time, where as a locked/shuttered community would have visible/interactable posts/comments but nothing new can be made
I think c/agriculture can probably just get folded into c/gardening. There's no way the other half of agriculture is gonna get seriously discussed on Hexbear despite the number of omnivores on here.
please don't remove c/maps, I'll try to post harder
