Scheduled downtime: 17th June, 9am CDT/2pm UTC - Hexbear
www.hexbear.netContext: https://www.hexbear.net/post/159221 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

It’s happening, folks
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
tbh I thought they might get bored and leave soon too, but it’s honestly starting to reach the point where we’re starting to see actual network effects popping up, I honestly think most of these new users will stay.
And I have the same hope about hexbear lol
