In this post I am speaking as a Beehaw fanatic and not as an admin. That is why it is placed in the chat community. To be clear, I am not speaking on behalf of the Beehaw admin team nor the community as a whole.
Currently, we have $5,430 that is in our collective purse to be used to further this endeavor. When I take a step back, and look at that amount of money, I am humbled. That is hope…it is an expression of where we want to go and what we want to preserve.
You may be wondering where we are with the testing of alternative platforms and any other considerations.
The testing phase, as far as I can tell, is over. We are, I believe, in a stage of digesting all of it. And, I have a feeling, that we are holding out hope that there could be other options we haven’t encountered yet.
I appreciate the patience of everyone involved and I don’t want to make a hasty decision.
Thankfully, we have had persons such as PenguinCoder to rescue us from the huge Reddit exodus and all the technical problems associated with the Lemmy software platform that we rely on right now.
There have been whispers that PenguinCoder could be working on a new platform for the Beehaw project.
Thank you all for grabbing onto our northern star, be(e) nice, and running with it.
Back then, there may have been fewer topics, but there was discussions all abound. On communities like this one, the discussions are much fewer despite there being a fair amount of topics. I need more things to consume to pique my interests because the comments are few and far between. Sure there are a few posts that get a fair amount of comments, but there’s not enough of that.
I was more meaning… if Beehaw moves off lemmy, why do you have to choose between beehaw and lemmy? Por que nos los dos?
Already have a thousand logins for sites, personally I’m not interested in adding another one. Plus it’s obvious when you have time to kill that there is one app you prefer over another, it makes sense to keep aggregation services like this federated into one feed.
Because beehaw is my ideal home base for lemmy. The comments are better here, and it’s nice to be able to venture out to the greater fediverse from here. Without beehaw, I’d care less about lemmy as a whole.
