Nothing official yet, but Hexbear may be bringing some of their previous devs back to contribute upstream. Along with that would come a userbase roughly comparable to lemmy.ml’s daily activity. Their daily megathread regularly surpasses 1000 comments

I would be glad to see this. This being said I see a “last edited 2021” tag on the post. Is the post in question is several years or am I misunderstanding something?

You're replying to a two year old thread.

I imagine you were browsing "Hot" which has a bug where after scrolling down the feed it suddenly starts including very old content that only has one comment.

I hope they do it. I thought it was a mistake when they decided to rewrite the codebase with no hope of merging the federation changes. Federating their community could have brought thousands of active users into the lemmy network. Instead, it became this isolated community. I'm glad they are reconsidering now.
