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:
Thank you! I kind of get why I had a hard time finding it, because that is the most UNIX website I have ever seen in my life hahahahha. I doubt they care that much about SEO lmao. And no worries about keeping me waiting, I'm was just very interested, so thank you very much for sating my curiosity! I can stop reading facts about Kaiju now.
