And from lemmy.world?

      When Reddit announced their API thing, I moved to beehaw (LW didn’t exist) and it was cool! Then they defederated from instance one by one… So I opened an account on LW.

      Beehaw is about dead, 70 users per day…

    I wonder why they are still on 0.18.4. The latest Lemmy version is 0.19.5 and it has some nice features compared to 0.18.x.

      Last I heard they want to switch to another platform, and don’t consider it worth upgrading to 0.19 because they’re leaving soon so it wouldn’t be worth the hassle.

      This is pure guesswork on my part, but they could be waiting for Sublinks (a Lemmy-compatible backend) to get up to speed before switching to that. They say that the new platform is “compatible with all Lemmy apps”, and Sublinks is the only project I know of that fits that criteria.

    Been a while, but as far as I can recall, SJW and LW are the two largest instances and the decision was due to limitations with Lemmy’s moderation tools and wanting to provide a safe space for their userbase (the latter being their primary mission). BH doesn’t have a huge admin/mod team, so they chose to limit federation with some of the larger instances. I also think I remember reading that federation was never really Beehaw’s goal and is more a side effect of the platform (Lemmy) they chose to run for their project.

    May be a bit fuzzy on the details, but I believe that’s the gist of it.
