    I’m fascinated that lemmygrad users can communicate with so few emojis

        Hexbear reinventing pictographic language.

        When I proposed adding :kijetesantakalu: as an emoji, that was supposed to be the first step to adding all of sitelen pona as emojis, thereby fulfilling this prophecy

      The historical reason is that Hexbear implemented emojis before Lemmy did. Lemmy ended up supporting emojis only when Hexbear merged with Lemmy recently. A bunch of our own emojis are cribbed from Hexbear.

      Hexbearians need to bring freedom and democracy (emojis) to the poor oppressed people of lemmygrad.

      How can I tell if someone likes or dislikes me without a Stalin heart or PPB emoji?

      I’m lost.

                It’s back up, but it was a bunch of people telling the admins that it wasn’t cool to let the coup happen when the site was down

                  I’m getting old. Damn kids. Thought something actually happened. I’ve tried to subscribe to Hexbear from Lemmygrad and haven’t gotten accepted yet for some reason.
