hexbear split off and has been running their own fork for awhile separate from the rest of lemmy (so they couldnt federate with lemmy instances). They are coming back now though so lemmy instances will start to be able to interact with them soon

    Ah yeah just checked and looks like I see can see their communites, didnt realize they already joined in. So yes we are federated with them atm, just if a community hasnt been subscribed to yet by anyone the posts from it wont show up in the feeds

    I can enter a community but I can't see any posts. For example: https://programming.dev/c/indigenous@hexbear.net

    I think it might be due to discoverability? I remember reading something about that. If no one in this instance is subscribed to an external community, the server doesn't load their posts, or something like that.

    Edit: OH what a dummy, you just said that lol.
