Hello users of hexbear when this post is approximately 24 hours old we will have a downtime lasting about an hour for maintenance and upgrading to lemmy version 0.19.7
https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-11-08_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.6
contains some of the changes, some notable ones are:
-
Automatically remove tracking parameters from URLs
-
Fix bug when commenting in local-only community
-
Fixing peertube and ordinary video embeds
Also a reminder about Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.
This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.
Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.
Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.
Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.
All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).
Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.
To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.
Whoever logs on first after the downtime gets the honors.
They will be crowned "the most online" and then promptly banned
