Hello users of hexbear, we have started discussions with an admin of lemmy.ca regarding potential refederation. Lemmy.ca had added hexbear to their blocklist about a year ago: https://lemmy.ca/post/3326347 With the recent changes in lemmy features as well as a maturing fediverse the mods/admins of hexbear and lemmy.ca are open to trying again, but before we put lemmy.ca on our allow-list we wanted to open up discussion and voting to the users of hexbear. This vote *will* be binding with regard to adding lemmy.ca to our allow-list. In addition, the idea of including sh.itjust.works in this discussion was raised but was voted down by a majority of mods from inclusion. https://lemmy.ca/c/canada and https://lemmy.ca/c/pcgaming are the instance's top two communities but there are a few other small, niche communities. A community that may be removed from hexbear is the https://lemmy.ca/c/fediverselore so please indicate your opinion on this community if you have one. As usual please use  if you would like lemmy.ca to be added to our allow-list  if you would like lemmy.ca to *not* be added to our allow-list We will leave this post unlocked for a few days before making the decision, thank you. Users may also use this post for a general discussion on federation including naming instances for federation/defederation or feedback for the hexbear admin/mod team.

Hello users of Hexbear with the upcoming version of lemmy [0.19.4](https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/blob/main/src/assets/news/2024-06-07%20-%20Lemmy%20Release%20v0.19.4%20-%20Image%20Proxying%20and%20Federation%20improvements.md) we will be able to change local communities' federation to [local only](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4350) however it is experimental as they are developing [private](https://github.com/LemmyNet/rfcs/pull/5) communities. In a previous federation discussion, we stated that we would temporarily remove lemm.ee from our allow-list until hexbear communities and users have the means by which to set hexbear communities to not federate out, restricting it to hexbear users. Now that this tool is available, we will refederate with lemm.ee after we complete the update. Please use this post to discuss federation in general, as well as provide feedback to the hexbear mod and admin team in regard to federation. ::: spoiler List of current federated instances on hexbear's allow-list spectreofcommunism.boo akkoma feddit.uk lemmy lemmygrad.ml lemmy transwo.men akkoma sloth.run sharkey endlesstalk.org lemmy infosec.pub lemmy akko.wtf akkoma ursal.zone mastodon suppo.fi lemmy redpawcollective.co mastodon social.harpia.red akkoma piefed.social PieFed szmer.info lemmy procial.tchncs.de Firefish lemmy.today lemmy lgbtqia.space mastodon feddit.nu lemmy novo-atlantis.null.media akkoma feddit.it lemmy whiskers.bim.boats lemmy lemmy.kde.social lemmy lemmy.myserv.one lemmy poweredbygay.social mastodon tankie.tube peertube lgbt.io mastodon vegantheoryclub.org lemmy mander.xyz lemmy midwest.social lemmy lemmy.glasgow.social lemmy transfem.space lemmy scribe.disroot.org lemmy dormi.zone lemmy transfem.social sharkey the-federation.info bookwormstory.social lemmy lemmy.wtf lemmy orcas.enjoying.yachts lemmy eviltoast.org lemmy toast.ooo lemmy lemmy.max-p.me lemmy reddthat.com lemmy lemmy.zip lemmy urbanists.social mastodon blackqueer.life mastodon undernopretext.social mastodon mycrowd.ca akkoma lemmy.studio lemmy possumpat.io lemmy lemmy.sdf.org lemmy union.place mastodon femboys.bar lemmy fanaticus.social lemmy poptalk.scrubbles.tech lemmy links.hackliberty.org lemmy feddit.cl lemmy lemmy.dbzer0.com lemmy weatherishappening.network mastodon ttrpg.network lemmy discuss.online lemmy thelemmy.club lemmy monyet.cc lemmy adultswim.fan lemmy lemmy.eco.br lemmy lemmy.radio lemmy lemdro.id lemmy codesink.io lemmy lemmy.blugatch.tube lemmy pricefield.org lemmy snowdin.town akkoma fediseer.com seafoam.space akkoma toots.matapacos.dog hometown lemmy.ml lemmy jlai.lu lemmy kyberpunk.social lemmy lemmy.fan lemmy ljs.social mastodon outerheaven.club akkoma feddit.dk lemmy linux.community lemmy futurology.today lemmy mtgzone.com lemmy lemmy.pt lemmy startrek.website lemmy discuss.tchncs.de lemmy feddit.nl lemmy lemy.lol lemmy lemmy.one lemmy iusearchlinux.fyi lemmy ::: ::: spoiler Previous federation discussion posts https://hexbear.net/post/277508 https://hexbear.net/post/280770 https://hexbear.net/post/335632 https://hexbear.net/post/369410 https://hexbear.net/post/369412 https://hexbear.net/post/458637 https://hexbear.net/post/504353 https://hexbear.net/post/514276 https://hexbear.net/post/528899 https://hexbear.net/post/552815 https://hexbear.net/post/1712067 :::

Hey hexbears just want to update everyone. We took the weekend to properly consider and are removing: programming.dev , aussie.zone , and lemm.ee from our allow-list. We will look at refederation with lemm.ee after local-only communities are developed. When that feature is available we would really like to consider changing every hexbear community to local-only except for chapotraphouse, askchapo, news, and the_dunk_tank. The final say on if a community is local only or not is 100% up to the mod team on that community. The reason for this is that lemm.ee despite having twice our monthly active users has a 700k annual comment rate to hexbear's 1 million, in addition lemm.ee has very little active communities that do not exist on hexbear. Resulting in lemm.ee benefit of federation being votes and views, with a secondary benefit of comments. However, as expressed by users belonging to marginalized groups, comments from .ee users are often lib-shit and in some cases outright hostile. While many on hexbear love dunking on these lost libs the duty to protect marginalized users is much more important. The end vote for programming.dev and aussie.zone was a tie, so we decided to break the tie in favor of defederation. The decision on lemm.ee was much harder as the average user did express desire to remain federated however the admin team decided that a temporary removal from our allow-list was the best option. As an admin team we have never wanted to prioritize growth, and we wanted to give federation with liberal instances a try, however we consider providing a safer browsing experience for marginalized users more important than the opportunity to dunk. While user side instance blocking and local sort are options, neither address the issue of federated instance users coming into posts in hexbear communities to make reactionary comments. Thank you everyone who gave input and please provide any feedback, comments, concerns, etc in comments. final vote count: federation all 32 aussie.zone 27 lemm.ee 41 programming.dev 27 lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 defederation all 40 aussie.zone 19 lemm.ee 4 programming.dev 19 lemmy.blahaj.zone 43

On Mega-threads

Hello users of hexbear after some discussion we mainly wanted to get your thoughts on the two pinned megathreads, one general and one news. We've noticed that the news mega has basically become the general mega and the general mega has kinda slowed. Some are thinking that it might be time to tell people to stop posting random shit to the news mega because some appreciate the ever so slightly more serious, focused tone of the news mega As of now there is not much of a standard for comments however we wanted to discuss with you regarding making a change. Where the news megathread is for discussion on current events and their history/implications for future while the general megathread is for commenting on one's life, interests, or for shit-posting. This would result in the news megathread being more heavily moderated to actively remove comments that are a better fit for the general megathread or off topic. Please comment with any thoughts, opinions, comments, questions, or concerns.

My answer: When chapotraphouse was banned on reddit many mods and users came together to create a space on a link aggregator platform. Choosing lemmy the original admin and developer team decided to fork it for various reasons. About a year ago, sustained effort was taken to upstream many of the forked features so that we could rebase with current version lemmy and federate. Over the years hexbear has become a non-sectarian social media space for sharing news, memes, links, posts and comments with each other as the mods endeavour to make the space welcoming to marginalized people.
