Didn't Hexbear run a heavily modified fork of Lemmy? Getting it to federate would be one of a hassle.

Gosh why even fork Lemmy?
At the time Lemmy was not federating and they wanted to add some stuff like stickers and some other cool stuff, so now that federation works it is more complicated.
Wow, Lemmy without federation? That doesn't sound like Lemmy! :)
When are we getting stickers?
I'm going to make my own Lemmy, with blackjack and stickers!
LemmyNSFW has forked the lemmy UI to add an option to auto-expand images, IIRC
Damn what a shame... Having Hexbear as part of the community would give us a real leg up.
I'd really like to spin up a lemmy instance, but it's got a higher bar to entry than expected.
