Some more progress with hexbear moving to LemmyNet


(they are looking for people to help with infrastructure so might be worth letting them know if you can help with that)

I've never heard of HexBear before. Is it currently federated?

Nope, that's what they're trying to achieve.

They're a very large community based on a significantly diverged fork of lemmy with some major DB differences that make federation impossible.

The work they're doing is to bring it back inline with lemmy and allow for federation with the wider lemmy community. They have something like 20,000 members

Thanks for the explanation. I read somewhere it was a fork of Lemmy so that's what confused me about not having federation.

Yeah they have actually been working on migrating back to a using a more current Lemmy version for a while now (around a year). But this post is making it look like it is actually close to happening.
