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
Federation days were incredible
Pre-emptive de-federation days
as a last resort.
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.
