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.

Excellent, really glad that was able to get resolved. We’ve had to deal with domain name issues here too, its an extremely stressful experience that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

The “nothing ever happens” gang stays winning, happy to see federation will resume soon. More Leftists federated is a good thing.

Letting the domain name expire was a pretty good bit, still glad to see it’s been worked out.

do we know yet when re-federation will happen?

during the domain change new accounts created a new table in the database and are associated with @chapo.chat so we are cleaning that up and doing some security-oriented tasks before re-federation

Comment buried the lede:

We will be enabling federation after redirecting chapo.chat, hexbear.chat, etc. to hexbear.net


Edit to add: hexbear.chat is currently broken, which may confuse a few users who’d been told not to go to hexbear.net anymore.

apologies i forget that pinned comments / speak as moderator aren’t as clear i’ll edit the original post

Awesome news. Lemmy has felt kinda empty and sad lately without them

I’m curious to know if they got the auction stopped or if they had to shell out thousands for it.

They got it back without participating in the auction.

That’s great news.

thanks for your concern, just a quick aside has there ever been a country that uses solarpunk as an actual political ideology?

I see more toxicity directed towards Hexbear than from Hexbear, for what it’s worth.
