We are planning on doing the final site migration to upstream Lemmy this Saturday.
We are currently unsure exactly how long we need for the entire process. Our estimate is around 12 hours of total downtime; we'll update this post when we have a more accurate estimate.
Hexbear will be inaccessible during this time. For updates on progress on the day, please follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/chapo_chat
Whilst we'll gain the ability to federate with other Lemmy & Mastodon instances, federation will initially be disabled. More on this in future posts.
We expect to encounter a few more UX-related bugs after the relaunch that will require more work, so if you are open to volunteering a bit, we are looking for frontend developers who can help figure out and fix some of those UX issues. If you think you can help, please send me a message on Element (@layla:chapo.chat) .
Finally, none of this is possible without your continued support! If you enjoy the site, please consider donating via our Liberapay or Patreon :hexbear-retro:
closing down the sub for 12 hours on the 17th of June at 9am CDT/2pm UTC as a joke will not be okay
yeah lol. I might start farming up a few accounts at the new non-overloaded instances that are popping up. Don't need to register at beehaw itself to bug their libs. maybe somewhere has open registration
lemmy.world doesn't appear to have the registration questionaire. email is required but you can reuse a burner from site to site, or use aliases or something like gmail's <email>+foo@gmail.com
Update: 🐝🤠 defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works because of the open registration
Libs love that overly formal/scientific language it produces too.
I'm thinking of starting a beehaw account solely to accuse any public figure that any user speaks positively of as being a socialist.
How do I see beehaw? I made a lemmygrad account and have Jerboa but even when I sort by all I don't see beehaw
Lemmygrad is blocked by beehaw and a lot of the other lib instances
So I need to make another account on beehaw or lemmy.ml? Then can I be signed in to both accounts on jerboa?
:sankara-salute: Today actually marks my 1 year anniversary of my first PR to upstream lemmy to start getting our features up.
The great firewall wasn't to keep the libs out, it was to keep us in

yoooo this is amazing. y'all rock. thanks for sticking with it and gutting out all that hard work.
I've never been away from this site for more than a few hours oh god oh fuck what am i gonna do?
Do what I did and drop off the face of the earth for like a month, then spend that time you'd be using to post to work on those hobbies you keep telling yourself you want to do and do it.
:MF-SICKO: I expect a book report about your time spent gaming by the time cha-cha comes back online
Keep the fedi addiction flowing :peterson-pill-dinner:
yay! do you happen to know if our active alg will be changed at all too? lemmy's seems weird
I don't remember us tweaking it on og hexbear but if we did we can probably mimic that.
yeah... I hope that we can mimic what we have tbh if it is different. I'll bug a dev
Our estimate is around 12 hours of total downtime
I'm gonna touch so much grass
is hexbear's active algorithm any different than lemmy's? i feel like its way better here
You cannot stop me from posting, liberals.
