For background, the dev team at Hexbear forked Lemmy a while back and implemented various features. The team is now working on porting those features back to Lemmy proper, to eventually enable porting the entire Hexbear site back onto Lemmy. This will enable federating.

Features ported this time include:

  • Modlog filters
  • Comment rate limits
  • Visual improvements to post listings

In future we can expect to see Hexbear’s pronoun tags and custom emotes coming back to Lemmy.

    I was literally just saying Lemmy could use pronoun tags

      They’re really great. Hexbear has far and away the best method for pronoun tags I’ve seen on any website or app out there, and I really miss them when I’m somewhere else

    Will emotes from one instance be able to be used on another? Or will it be a per instance basis? Or is it too early in the dev process to know how it will work.
