Not yet afaik, but I think they posted a thread talking about it and specifically asked hexbear users not to comment, though I don't know the details tbh. I just posted this in response, letting users from there know that we don't bite and they are more than welcome to join our threads (as long they follow the instance rules, of course).

Good I hope they don't. They seem like one of the cooler instances.

They aren't federated with us. So I'm sure it's in the works.

That thread was posted by a user, not an admin. So it wasn't official in any capacity. We're still federated!
