On the meta update, a previous admin was able to get the hexbear.net domain back, and we were able to established shared access. We are thankful for everything that they have done as this site would not exist without them, with this shared access the stress of site administration has been lessened.

Awesome news. Lemmy has felt kinda empty and sad lately without them

Excellent, really glad that was able to get resolved. We've had to deal with domain name issues here too, its an extremely stressful experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Letting the domain name expire was a pretty good bit, still glad to see it's been worked out.

Comment buried the lede:

We will be enabling federation after redirecting chapo.chat, hexbear.chat, etc. to hexbear.net


Edit to add: chapo.chat is currently broken, which may confuse users who’d been told not to go to hexbear.net anymore.

$ curl -I --no-progress-meter https://hexbear.chat/ 2>&1 | head -n1

do we know yet when re-federation will happen?

[–] C4RCOSA@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 3 hours ago

during the domain change new accounts created a new table in the database and are associated with @chapo.chat so we are cleaning that up and doing some security-oriented tasks before re-federation

Should be today, or soon.

The "nothing ever happens" gang stays winning, happy to see federation will resume soon. More Leftists federated is a good thing.

On the upside, they'll be contained into one place to easily avoid.

please stay on your conservative echo-chamber. makes the transphobes contained and easier to avoid
