Hexbear disappeared for a while. I guess they're federating with us again? What changed to make them want to do that again?

What are local-only comms? comms = communications or communities? I'm going to assume communities. Does that mean that hexbear can have communities that only native hexbear users can see?

yup, you got it. comms are communities, which is why it's /c/comm_name on lemmy. an unfederated/local-only comm is only visible through the instance that hosts it. you can access it without logging in but only via the hosting instance.

e.g. people from other instances don't need access to the instance feedback comm and shouldn't be able to participate in internal discussions about instance policies.

Correct.

Correct, though this was a Lemmy update not Hexbear so most instances should be able to use this feature if I understand correctly.
