We have made it work! You can now pick multiple photos from the small conversation creation box! When you pick 1 image it works like before, but if you pick more we take you to the full editor and upload all the images picked.

Just wanted to share what happened. We had a cloud provider outage for the rack that handles our database that handles all main app connections. We do have the intention of moving to a multi write cluster system and was starting that work but it was not complete.

A email from Hetzner saying there was a outage for 1 hour on a server rack that hosts our main database.

How does Fresh and Hot work on Hey.Café? No crazy algorithms. Content has a score until it gets to 48 hours old. It goes down every hour and its simple, each reaction is worth 8 and every comment is worth 40.

Did you know you can change the Hey.Café theme to your liking, by setting a background image and setting the accent colour and the theme colour you can customize things how you like them.

A screenshot of the theme settings on Hey.Café that includes colour, theme, and toggles for things like stats, transparency, and animations.

We have had to make massive changes on our end to block Mississippi accounts. Once someone joins or logs into the network from a IP located within Mississippi it will now automatically get blocked on our network and a message will display.

We do love being transparent so we wanted to help grow our platform and on Saturday added a privacy friendly EU based analytics tool Pirsch to see how many visitors we get for the first time. Here are the stats in 2 days!

Stats showing 386 unique visitors and 3.2k page views.
