Embassy of Hexbear on Lemmygrad

Context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPcKM0cWjZo

Hi folks!

As most of you have already noticed, the technical issues blocking federation have finally been worked out, and we have refederated with Lemmygrad! Federation with other instances will come after we have confirmed no lingering ill effects from the retvrn-to-chapochat period, likely within the day. The change happened ~12 hours ago, but some further cajoling was necessary to get the servers actually talking again. (Edit: re-federation with other instances has begun. Edit 2: federation now enabled for all previously fed'ed instances)

Lemmygrad comrades, we are so happy to be back

(Thanks for making this graphic @TheImmortalScienceML@lemmygrad.ml )

(this is a lemmygrad account, don't get too excited, just seeing if this makes it to hexbear!)

Made a post on Hexbear, not seeing it here. Saw this comm and its most recent lemmygrad post federated. Federation is on for hexbear. Maybe its a queue thing.

Hexbear might refederate soon 🥰

I dreamt about Trotsky as a cat so you will get this artwork❤️

They got the domain back so it should be fine but if I go to my subscribed list I don't see any posts from Hexbear.

What's the sitch?

Hello users of hexbear and friends by now you will have noticed that the megathreads are featured again. During the recent challenges we wanted to see what the site is like with no pinned megathreads, a pinned megathread portal, in the style of this https://chapo.chat/post/4470784 and finally we are back to status quo.

Please give your thoughts on the megathread experiment in comments, if you liked on way over another, etc.

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.

In addition to the domain registrar we have been able to establish shared access for the server provider and are working on shared access to donation accounts (patreon/liberapay)

Payment has been reestablished from the donation account for the domain and servers, and we will be working towards making a financial transparency report that lays out how much donations we receive, what our costs are and what our current funds are. We are good for the rest of the year on domain/server payments.

I know this is a really confusing, but we are establishing a bitwarden to ensure that all the admins have access to the vital accounts going forward.

Please comment any questions, and we will do our best to answer, apologies to the person who commented on the previous post that we should do the megathread experiment when we are not undergoing a site crisis, which is valid.

TLDR: hexbear.net is back and patriots are in control and we will be enabling federation after redirecting chapo.chat, hexbear.chat, etc. to hexbear.net

I can name you some fowks

@MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net Missile and flight analysis

@xiaohongshu@hexbear.net Well-delved into MMT, and analyzes China

@SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net Currently hosting the news megathread and the Imperialism: the highest stage of capitalist book reading club (he also does summaries for it)

Things that make you go hm 🤔

How do people on Lemmy live like this? Hexbear posts would rotate every 4 to 8is hours, it feels like.

I personally used the disabled megathread a lot and got a lot of comradeship on there, and I'm sure trans comrades are missing the trans megathread.

This couldn't be more funny. Now I REALLY hope that admin gets back, sheesh
