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:
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.
I guess I'll play those 27 games I have installed
