"Scheduled downtime: 17th June, 9am CDT/2pm UTC" on Hexbear
www.hexbear.net
"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: "

      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?

          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.
