I am seeing posts from https://hexbear.net/ once again. Anyone know what happened since they lost their domain name? How did they get it back?

    The issue was that the domain expired and the original user that set up the domain was MIA… but according to this like a month later the admin awoke from hiberation 🐻 and managed to restore the domain (it was enough of a grace period from the registrar to bypass the auction) and give the current admins shared access.

    There were some ongoing server issues beyond that but as far as I know the issue appears resolved. Lemmy.ca is not federated with them so that’s about as far as I’ll look into it.

      Thanks! The link is helpful.

      Look like they got the domain back a while ago. Wonder why federation took so long.
