it's like all of my furniture was moved slightly to the left
(woah, emoji code is now a long link to an image.)
On the bright side, the name is now alt text, so they can be identified more easily
On the one hand, that is awesome. On the other hand, I can't help but be concerned that the inline image ability is going to 1) make the comment section really cluttered and haphazard. 2) Less readable overall and maybe even less conducive to discussion. 3) kill or just detract from the creative emoji... culture thing we have here that some (not me) have taken to an art form.
But I could be completely wrong and just afraid of all the changes happening on my beloved hexbear.
Edit: And actually 4) get used by wreckers in more ways than I can imagine.
Yeah, my prediction is that this new feature isn't going to last long. Guess we'll see how it goes.
only thing I really don't like is the pronoun tags. they looked better when they were in a lil bubble instead of the brackets, now they just blend in with the username :/
I guess I also don't love the piss-yellow upbears. actually don't remember what they looked like before tho
Depends on what theme you were using. I was using the OLED black theme, and the upbears were cyan/light blue
it was better. We will continue to make improvements to this UI. The old one was completely custom (and made by people with much better sense of design and performance than lemmy tbqh) but the people that wrote it are long gone and the API that it used has changed a lot, etc. so we are now back to a (still modified) version of lemmy's frontend UI.
My understanding is it was mostly burnout from the people developing the fork being the same people modding/admining the site. Especially considering how contentious every struggle session was back then and the sheer number of unhinged wreckers.
Yeah, it seems sometimes upvotes work and other times not.
The upvotes on this post appear to be jumping all over the place. I saw 8, 9, 64, 20, now at 58. lol
My upvotes are working fine. Must be because you are all :LIB:s :P
Now I can see all my comments about the drama around the time of the site launch 💀
slightly changing to layout and font to fuck with my UI autism is not ok.
adding the username pictures really clutters things and i don't like it
i'm just yelling at clouds.
there's no such thing as a good UI change because change is bad
unless you don't have dark mode and add one.
We are so glad to be posting online on the Hexbear website (federated version).
Who is the man on my notifications? Who is this man you sent me? This federation type of HUE MON?

wait shit what is that emoji called i can't see the names when i hover over them any more
OUR WONDERFUL DEVS OUR WONDERFUL DEVS THEY HAVE BROUGHT US A GIFT
THANK YOU DEVS WHO ARE MODS IN MY HEART
feddit.de has already banned hexbear preemptively. I swear Germans are especially reactionary even by imperial core standards.
serious , nuke the others i know what i am talking abot , theres a 2000 year long record , what more evidence do they need !
If we wanted to deal with a bunch of kraut nazis we'd go back to Reddit
I'm still ignorant of how Lemmy works. What does it mean when one community bans another?
You can access feddit.de's communities and discussions from lemmy.ml for example, no need to make an account on feddit.de or visit feddit.de at all. Theoretically you could also access feddit.de forums from hexbear if/when hexbear enabled this feature (called federation). But feddit.de has added hexbear.net to the list of banned instances preemptively, just in case, so they can't see us and you can't post there. I think this also means feddit.de users will not see any posts by any hexbear account, even if they're part of the same discussion thread on lemmy.ml.
So, you might reply to some German's braindead post on !worldnews@lemmy.ml, but they won't see it or know you replied at all.
Hats off on the crew doing a 19 Hour lift and shift on a Saturday. They're never fun. Whatever issues will still be here to tackle after a well deserved break. Thanks team!
Okay, now this is freaking epic. Hexbear has gone full tankie.
I already miss the Deep theme.
upstream lemmy is overhauling theming rn it seems. You could maybe retheme the site on your end with a userscript or something in the meantime though
mad appreciation to our devs, thank you! the glitchiness of lemmy is gonna take some getting used to though. it's a lot glitchier than our fork was. the switch is totally understandable though
