Hexbear will be migrating to Lemmy (with federation disabled at first) on Saturday

3 years ago by layla [lemmygrad] to c/comradeship

"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](https://matrix.to/#/@layla:chapo.chat)) . Finally, none of this is possible without your continued support! If you enjoy the site, please consider donating via our [Liberapay](https://liberapay.com/hexbear) or [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/hexbear) :hexbear-retro: "

It's happening, folks

Thanks for not saying, "another kkkracka down unlimited genocide on the first world" during your announcement that hexbear would be joining these TANKIES. That took a lot of restraint.

Awesome! Hopefully the cross instance struggle sessions aren't too crazy, for when y'all decide to federate

They have higher energy than we do. I hope we can simply agree to disagree on their points where they engage in tailism, ultra-ism, and other various forms of liberalism and counter-revolutionary thought. Though these points are few, I am a stickler on some of them and I may have to have a near-cry moment if they come in and take over entirely. Hexbear/chapo is something best done in limited doses. Whereas this place is very chill and cool and I feel very safe here with all my good comrades (and friendly federal agents pretending to be comrades, lest I leave them out), they can be chaotic, unhinged, wild. Not always a bad thing but I need a space to turn it off.

I have faith in both our admins in banning the worst offenders and their admins on banning any planned brigades into here

I can assure you there will be no lemmygrad brigades, that energy would be better funneled into the current war against liberalism on the wider fediverse

I didn't really think so but I was trying to say if for some reason some hexbearians started getting real rowdy about lemmygrad I think y'all are great admins and wouldn't let it happen

Should be interesting, I'm really looking forward to the emojis. Didn't expect it to happen so soon.

I'm extremely new here but I'm looking forward to it already. Both instances are very cool in their different ways, and the more leftists the merrier.

On a related note, I only browse Local ever since I signed up here a year ago and iirc back then Lemmy itself sometimes had less activity than lemmygrad. Because of this post I just checked it out again and fucking hell it's grown.

If/when hexbear federates just between them, lemmy and us the fediverse should be over 2k daily users soon.

It's already there, lemmy.world alone is taking us over 2k daily users

I was gonna edit my post, because I clicked around some more and saw that too. There's even a Porn lemmy now lmao. Mad how much everything has grown. Is all of that from the reddit thing or has it been growing over the past year?

ImOnADiet 25 points 3 years ago

vast majority of it is from the reddit thing. It had nice slow growth the last year but it exploded the last couple weeks

Wild. I dismissed the reddit thing as some niche, performative stunt a few libs there would screech about for a day or two and didn't really pay attention to it beyond that. Didn't expect more than a couple handful of people making the switch tbh...seems like I was off by an order of magnitude or two lol

Hope hexbear joins soon, then the based peoples combined can effectively stir some shit on /All and scare the libs there

It's definitely from the Reddit exodus. I made my account around the time GZD got quarantained, but did not do much with it because TheDeprogram got big. Now Reddit really fucked up and most 3rd party app users are jumping ship, myself included.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
