Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.
This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.
Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.
Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.
Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.
All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).
Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.
To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.
szmer.info is the largest Polish Lemmy instance at 28 daily users, and it federates with Hexbear.
Their 7 most active communities:
https://lemy.lol is a small (43 users a day) Lemmy instance that federates with Hexbear and Lemmygrad and blocks Threads. Their admin seems open to learning more about gender, and they have built off of @CannotSleep420@hexbear.net's lemmy-bot.
lemmy.VG is an anarchist, vegan-only Lemmy server existing to provide the vegan community safe access to the Fediverse, and they federate with Hexbear and Lemmygrad. It hosts https://lemmy.vg/c/vegancirclejerk, which has 231 daily users.
urbanists.social, urbanism focused Mastodon instance run by a communist
blackqueer.life, Mastodon instance for black/queer folks run by a communist
midwest.social, left-friendly Lemmy instance focused on the US midwest
Those all sound amazing
The fediverse is absolutely popping with good communities. It's why I'd prefer a blocklist rather than an allow list.
kolektiva.social/Kolektiva is an anti-colonial anarchist collective that offers federated social media to anarchist collectives and individuals in the fediverse. It has 3,489 monthly users
https://lemmy.bestiver.se/ is "an inclusive, SFW Lemmy instance, affiliated with the other Bestiverse sites". Its most active community, https://lemmy.bestiver.se/c/hackernews, has 583 daily users.
Their 3rd rule is "No Racists, Nazis, or Tankies", but they also federate with Hexbear and Lemmygrad, so "no tankies" probably just means no ultras
https://europe.pub/ is a social network dedicated to everything European. They host https://europe.pub/c/BuyFromEU with 2.12k monthly users and https://europe.pub/c/BoycottUnitedStates with 1.79k monthly users, but they also have some smaller communities like Anticonsumption and degoogle.
is there a history with sh.itjust.works? I just want to subscribe to https://sh.itjust.works/c/unions for union news
edit: oop, just read the comment in the defederation nomination post. lmao nevermind
lemmy.billiam.net is a 2-user instance that is home to https://lemmy.billiam.net/c/sovietwomble.
thanks, added
lemmy.sdfeu.org is from the same crowd that runs lemmy.sdf.org (just from another CDN). The latter is federated but not the first.
Any chance of linking them? They have a no defederation policy, but I can't see your posts from my main instance.
floss.social is a Mastodon instance for people who care about, support, and build Free, Libre, and Open Source Software (FLOSS). It has 787 monthly users.
https://rblind.com/ is an instance for blind and low vision folks, and friends of the blindness community.
Is there any chance of rblind.com unblocking Hexbear? The only active, non-personal instances that they block are Hexbear and Lemmygrad, and their reasoning is here, from December 2023.
That would be nice, but with most instances that have blocked us on vibes it's not likely. I tried to reach out before and got no response
bark.lgbt is a furry focused Mastodon instance for critters that like to bark, is LGBTQ+ run, and has friendly, active moderation. It has 549 monthly active users.
Looks like images from lemmy.blahaj.zone show up as *removed externally hosted image* (see https://hexbear.net/post/306609). Can we get that domain whitelisted for images like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml are?
lemmy.blahaj.zone is a general purpose lemmy instance for queer and gender diverse folk, and their allies. They like our pronouns feature, and they have disabled downvotes like Hexbear has.
To name another mastodon instance, I'd personally love to see kolektiva.social added. It's the biggest anti-colonial/anarchist mastodon instance sitting at 36k users and for many leftists like me it was sort of the default landing page during the very first twitter exodus. Lemmygrad federated with them as well fwiw.
feddit.de is a German-speaking alternative, independent and self-managed space for free exchange of views, beyond the control of large tech companies. They have upgraded to Lemmy v0.19.0, meaning that their users can decide for themselves which instances to block, in the marketplace of ideas.
voltage.vn microinstance for a guy from vietnam who posts interesting engineering content.

Hey, is there a good reason we don’t federate with https://slrpnk.net/ ? I just ask because it’s an anarchist environmentalist instance with no porn and no bigotry (that I’ve seen). I haven’t spent much time analysing it but from first impressions it looks to be both fairly active and feels like it may have users who would be more or less aligned with hexbear even if they are federated with some worse instances.
https://lemmy.tf/ is Just Another Lemmy Server with 10 monthly users that federates with Hexbear and Lemmygrad. Their most active community is https://lemmy.ml/c/folkpunk@lemmy.tf where they say "Nazis punks fuck off" in their sidebar
pawb.social yiffit.net - furries
Reason: The internet is a greyer, duller place without them.
