Hello users of Hexbear, we have wonderful news!
Due to the hard work of @makotech222@hexbear.net , @Ryaina@hexbear.net , @Sphere@hexbear.net , and the rest of our Development/Infrastructure team we have restored the chapo.chat Active sort!
You may now notice a fresher and more engaging feed, remember you can set default sort settings in your user settings including choosing Local, All, or Subscribed communities in addition to the post sort method.
We would also like to take this opportunity to begin another volunteer drive, if you are interested in volunteering as a moderator, please send in the application below via hexbear direct message or matrix message.

Element information
Element is a messaging app that lets you talk to people over the Matrix protocol.
To get started, check out this link, where you can choose to either download Element for your platform or, if on a computer, open it in a browser.
The instructions that follow are for the desktop application and the web application, but the process is similar on all apps:
Press "Create Account"
We host our own Matrix server, so if you want you can change matrix.org to chapo.chat.
This is completely optional; users who sign up with a matrix.org username can still talk to people with chapo.chat username.
(Note: It is chapo.chat, not hexbear.net. Also, registrations aren't always open on chapo.chat; if they're not, just create an account on matrix.org)
Fill in a username and password
Hit register, and you're done!
Mods trying to recruit fresh meat. If you think you're applying to be a moderator, think again. You're going to be dedicated ass wipers. You'll be lucky if you're supplied any toilet paper.
