I was trying to read through an old post again called "r/ChapoTrapHouse was banned by the CIA. Here's proof" but when I try to load it the website displays an error. This of course also happens with many other posts on this site. Any workarounds?

    There is a database issue. The fix was to no longer display older posts and comments. This will continue until our comrade devs are able to fix the database issue.

      That sucks, anyone can hit me up but I guess it's hard to share backend-specific shit like database optimization issues... I'm very familiar with database engines like SQL Server/Oracle/Postgres and a few random ones that are too niche to not dox myself by mentioning lol

        Previously mentioned here our current Dev Volunteer Focus is to fork Lemmy again, this time deliberately not diverging too far from upstream so it's easier to maintain the patches and apply them on top of each new Lemmy release.

        This is a large undertaking. There is no timeline, but we expect it to be a while before the site is migrated over to the finished fork.

        We're still in the early stages, but the more people involved the sooner we can progress. Primarily, we need developers (Rust & TypeScript) and ops/infrastructure people. Please reach out to Ella via Matrix or me via Matrix If you're interested in helping out. If you need help setting it up, let me know.

        For more information contributing to the dev side of Hexbear please refer to this post

        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 ("Launch Element Web").

        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!
