I always forget how much of Lemmy lets Hexbear live rent free in their minds. We barely interact with them at all lol.

I hope they get a life one day.

What's a Lemmy?

The only consistent member of Motörhead until his death.

He had a cameo in one of the Toxic Avenger movies if you’re into that sort of thing

Is that really a thing, what's the lore here?

Feels like something from before my time in the Fediverse. Only really heard of hex when posts from y'all started popping up in "top" after moving to .zip (specifically bc they don't do defeds).

hexbear was originally a completely separate website that was built out of the same code as lemmy, and was eventually merged with the rest of the fediverse well after a specific culture was able to develop here. Federation was WILD

Hexbear pride flag

Lemmy also didn’t have support for federation when Hexbear first popped up, and the Hexbear devs were a couple weeks away from finishing de-forking their older codebase so they could hop back on the main, federation-capable Lemmy codebase when the Reddit API exodus happened. Awesome timing.

Federation days were incredible

Pre-emptive de-federation days

as a last resort.
