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

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.

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?
