ok I got some good feedback on the new editor!! you can see the PR here which documents all I changed *and* has screenshots/videos of the new editor :D https://codeberg.org/wafrn/wafrn/pulls/871 coming to a Wafrn (on web) near you soon!!!! #wafrn #wafrnDev

We've just updated. Apologies for the lack of notice and the lateness in patching, had a late night with a hot friend and a lot of whiskey. https://codeberg.org/wafrn/wafrn/releases/tag/2026.10.02

Please keep waffing, keep being odd, keep being weird, post more nipples, that's my last announcement of today. We fight fascists with t4t fandom fuckery and we need you in the battlefield. I love you. — @noahebalon.at.app.wafrn.net

Attention Wafrn admins: Expect a release today. It will include security fixes for THE NUMBER 4 (leaked CA stuff)

forums.vaguely.art is currently offline, due the php security issue making the rounds. This is due to caution and not any signs interference. This Wafrn instance is still trucking of course (different machine). Unfortunately I don’t have a timeline for an update on that particular server becaus[...]

:waf: right now...

hey @hostess.bsky.vaguely.art @barkmin.bsky.bark.wolp.chat @adminstuck.bsky.homestuck.fr @admin.blorbo.social.ap.brid.gy

Well fuck. Im sorry for everyone who loves pillowfort. We will work in an importer for wafrn

We did a quick fix on our email and you can complete the registration if you're using a VPN again. The process works like this: We detect a VPN, we send a confirmation email to verify, you respond, we manually activate it.

reminder to bsky ppl: Wafrn can connect with Bluesky, you can move your account here, keep your data *and* followers, and also be independent from bsky the company just check the video of alexia posting to wafrn, and it being on bsky after: #wafrn #bsky

there are probably inaccuracies in my explanations. Feel free to point them out and I'll fix them... eventually. But the goal here was to make something quick and easy for people who don't know much about how things work and don't want to know beyond the necessities

Do not use a VPN when applying for an account right now. Ordinarily when a VPN is detected we send a confirmation email to help prevent abuse. Unfortunately something has updated somewhere and our emails aren’t going out. I will investigate the issue and feel confident I can resolve it, but I[...]

We have an update coming, tonight/tomorrow morning. I’ll post an update before we do.

exactly same expectation and such an intelligent person (who has young children, their futures to protect!). Begs the Q: @councilorepg.bsky.social, WHY would you vote ‘no ISQ oversight’, despite clear and repeated foreshadowing you heard about CEI hub disasters on the Willamette?

soo @maxie is making a python library for wafrn. If someone knows python and can help it to develop the library that would be great https://codeberg.org/maxeepy/wafpy

It was the mayor lol

Updated again!!! for notes see https://codeberg.org/wafrn/wafrn/releases/tag/2026.09.11

It looks like bsky mods are going crazy and banning people again. Wafrn uses ATProto without being reliant on bluesky. It also federates with mastodon. https://join.wafrn.net/ https://wafrn.net/faq/GuideIntro.html https://wafrn.net/faq/user.html

Big Wafrn update happening now, apologies for the lack of notice. We won't be down long but performance may be a bit slow at first until it gets warmed back up. For details see https://codeberg.org/wafrn/wafrn/releases/tag/2026.09.01

New by Sabot media & We Will Free Us: The U.S. government has designated Autistici/Inventati, a volunteer-run collective providing autonomous, privacy-preserving infrastructure to activists, antifascists & independent media, a terrorist organization.

bwa I don't wanna sound ungrateful but this hasn't worked :(

Sorry if anyone just experienced a bump, we just applied a hot fix.

and we should be good... https://codeberg.org/wafrn/wafrn/releases/tag/2026.08.04

Update in 30 minutes (1:17pm PST), you probably won't even notice we're down...

Just checking in to let everyone know for the next 4-6 weeks I’m going to be here a bit less than usual. I’m being promoted at work and it involves a lot of training hours in addition to my normal schedule. I will still be checking in daily at a minimum and for anything urgent I can[...]

And we're back up! https://codeberg.org/wafrn/wafrn/releases/tag/2026.08.03 DRAFTS! You can now save a post as a draft from the editor and pick it back up later from your profile. You can now hide replies from specific people you follow, without having to unfollow or mute them. We au[...]

Almost forgot we have an update tonight 11:00pm PST. You probably won’t even notice we’re down.

Hello, help me make wafrn worse https://ko-fi.com/wafrn

come to wafrn https://join.wafrn.net/ we have nipples and gay sex

Applying a hotfix in 30 minutes (2:58PST)

We’re doing a security update in 30 minutes (1:47 PST) you probably won’t even notice we’re down for a minute.

new cool wafrn feature, beta possible with some bugs: pin-a-post. deployed on app.wafrn.net, will update preprod branch later tomorrow probably and will make a release once I know is fully good. Also: give me money https://patreon.com/wafrn https://ko-fi.com/wafrn

Wafrn devs dont even try to make funy shitposts for you to donate, they just post this link and thats it https://ko-fi.com/wafrn

Just a heads up if you’ve recently tried to join this server, I manually approve the process. No automation. So so sometimes it can be a bit before before I notice. I might be at work or asleep or just busy. Also I’ve definitely had a number of sketchy bots and things so some of you m[...]

Alright, home from work now. Setting a timer for 30 minutes, then update.

We have a small update coming tonight. Probably in about 2 hours. I’m still at work. Nothing major, just minor bug fixes. You probably won’t even notice we’re down.

I snuck in an update the other day. We’re back on main instead of preproduction.

Also I have an optimization thing to enable tonight that I spaced when rebooting, but I’m at work now… so if we seem a bit laggy it’ll adjust later when I’m home. No downtime required.

If you noticed we were down for a minute a bit ago we had to jump to preproduction for security stuff. Also we’re on on preproduction instead of main branch for now, but we’ll return to main when appropriate.

So that 10-15 minutes turned into 40, but we're back and updated. Silly me forgot that I disabled root logins a while ago and had to dig around for my server notebook for a while trying to figure out WTF...

Alright I’m going to start an update in 30 minutes. Aka 7:06am PST.

So Wafrn has released an update today. I’m going to try and get it done this evening, but we’re short staffed at the bakery and I didn’t get home till 1 am last night. So it might be tomorrow. I’m guessing we’ll be down for 10-15 minutes if it goes smoothly, maybe less. I’ll give y’al[...]
