Now that the old Hexbear fork has been officially abandoned, this community will be used as a space for meta-discussion on the site itself.

I just started my bot @[email protected]; and it's begun subscribing to a ridiculous amount of communities. This is important because in order for a federated community to appear in the all page one member of the local instance must subscribe to that community. Some new communities I can already see are /c/UnixPorn and /c/SelfHost. Posts might take a while to populate, though, as these are new communities Hexbear hasn't yet seen

Thanks to @[email protected] for the advice in this thread.

Please note, hornyposters, that I've disabled subscribing to NSFW communities. volcel-kamala

The comm name is less the problem than how a few people refer to customizing their desktop UI with a racist term against Asians.

Wait what 👀 I thought the term came out of the car modding community, what's it's history with Asian discrimination?

Damn. I didn't know it was pejorative. I never had any real contact with racing culture, i just thought it was a term for Japanese and Korea street racing cars.
