undefined> The process was very chaotic, and as a result, the fork of Lemmy used for Hexbear.net will likely never be capable of federating with the wider network of Lemmy instances

actually hexbear is currently on Lemmy v0.17.0, when they update to version 0.18.0 they will be able to federate

This is crazy to me. All this time there's been a 20k user instance out there just chilling by itself, and we may all start talking to each other one day.

its going to be cool when hexbear federates with others instances, for like 2 years we have been a small socialist reddit

Do they want to, tho? My suspicion is that they might not be very open to it.

[–] nachtigall@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

As far as I know they said first they would only federate with lemmygrad.

It's an ongoing debate, but it true Communist/Socialist style there is nobody out there that fullfils the criteria to stand as equal. Maybe at times the Mansheviks at Lemmygrad might be seen as nearly as good as the Bolsheviks of Hexbear. /s

they are gonna do a whitelist intead of a blocklist like other instances, they will probably federate with lemmygrad and lemmy since they have good relations with the modteam of both, any other is a bit of a hard tell
