Hi folks!
As most of you have already noticed, the technical issues blocking federation have finally been worked out, and we have refederated with Lemmygrad! Federation with other instances will come after we have confirmed no lingering ill effects from the retvrn-to-chapochat period, likely within the day. The change happened ~12 hours ago, but some further cajoling was necessary to get the servers actually talking again. (Edit: re-federation with other instances has begun. Edit 2: federation now enabled for all previously fed'ed instances)
Lemmygrad comrades, we are so happy to be back

I guess some of my posts that should have been crossposts between lemmygrad and hexbear either haven't fully synced, or maybe won't automatically sync due hexbear federation going down for a few months. Would be nice if lemmy had this feature if it doesn't already.
