There was a domain name issue and Hexbear went down for a day or two. Possibly other instances need to refresh (not sure if new domain is the same as before)

Hexbear has been defederated from everyone for several weeks. They’re working on plans to refederate. They post major announcements to https://toots.matapacos.dog/@hexbear.
