We will be down for ~30 mins. If you can't get in after an hour, check our Mastodon or twitter for updates, or try force refresh, clearing cache, etc.
EDIT: doing another quick hotpatch. You may see some interruptions

Out of interest, why is that a problem?
not a problem, just something to be aware of. we are doing it to make things cleaner and simpler when federating.
Oh I think you misunderstood me, I was interested in what the technical reasoning behind it was.
Is it because hexbear user tags are currently @JamesConeZone@hexbear.net so changing that would make it JamesConeZone@hexbear.net?
yeah thats a big reason for it
causes federation/mobile app confusion (if user types in the wrong one their app can't load the site properly. easy to handle in browser, less easy with apps in the mix that don't follow redirects) and makes user tags longer.
Makes sense. I guess apps don't care about htaccess unless the dev specifically writes it in.
I was talking about 301/302 redirects from the web server. browsers don't need to read htaccess files either, otherwise clients could simply choose to ignore the configuration contained in them which is often security sensitive. They are just used by apache to store directory-specific configuration. Lemmy instances generally use nginx anyhow tho.
