I have a friend who likes making care packages for people; anyone know of a good outlet for that? Before Reddit got big there were a few good places on there but I'm drawing a blank now.

There's a community on Hexbear called mutualaid that's really nice, but IIRC Lemmy World defederated from Hexbear.

Ok, new to the fediverse, but I now have a question. I'M hosted on Lemmy.World. You're saying we defederated from Hexbear.

So, does that mean I can't go to Hexbear content since we defederated?

And it brings up a second question, how do I know WHY they defederated? Because I don't know anything about Hexbear, other than it's an instance we defederated from.

Because for all I know it could be personal bickering. "Oh those guys rooted for the wrong vampire in twilight......we only support the OTHER vampire!!!"

Meanwhile I'm like "I don't give a shit about any of this....

Lemmy World announced the block about 10 months ago: https://lemmy.world/post/2498330

The larger instances usually setup a community just for announcements. For world it's [email protected]

As you'll see, I've been here a month. Still learning. So thank you for that bit of info. It's very helpful.

10 months ago I'd never heard of a lemmy or a fediverse. 10 months ago I was high as balls on chemo drugs. I remember playing stardew valley, and I think at one point there was a grilled cheese. But the mysterious gyro truck disappeared. I haven't seen it in over a year now.

So I really can't say what I was up to 10 months ago. That might have been about the time I started living at progressive field. Baseball is life!
