It's funny cause hexbear was one of the og instances along with like lemmy.ml and the contributors here do a lot of heavy lifting for the lemmy project as a whole lol like I think hexbear devs made pinning threads for lemmy possible

Pinning a post globally was something I upstreamed, IIRC. Also Emojis and Taglines

Hard to believe there was a time before having a thousand custom emotes. I was there in the first week and barely remember anything but the random struggle sessions

You know, I bet we’re going to adopt your emojis eventually.
