We do plan on runing an official Hexbear Mastodon instance, the only reason it hasn't been set up just yet is because we want to move our infrastructure around first, and I don't expect that to happen for another couple months at least.
The more Hexbear-adjacent Mastodon instances the better, so I'm all for this to remain an unofficial thing you host. But if you want it to become something official we help host and fund, feel free to reach out.
