Excellent, really glad that was able to get resolved. We've had to deal with domain name issues here too, its an extremely stressful experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
The "nothing ever happens" gang stays winning, happy to see federation will resume soon. More Leftists federated is a good thing.
Letting the domain name expire was a pretty good bit, still glad to see it's been worked out.
do we know yet when re-federation will happen?
Should be today, or soon.
during the domain change new accounts created a new table in the database and are associated with @chapo.chat so we are cleaning that up and doing some security-oriented tasks before re-federation
Comment buried the lede:
We will be enabling federation after redirecting chapo.chat, hexbear.chat, etc. to hexbear.net
Edit to add: chapo.chat is currently broken, which may confuse users who’d been told not to go to hexbear.net anymore.

Awesome news. Lemmy has felt kinda empty and sad lately without them
I'm curious to know if they got the auction stopped or if they had to shell out thousands for it.
They got it back without participating in the auction.
That's great news.
