The historical reason is that Hexbear implemented emojis before Lemmy did. Lemmy ended up supporting emojis only when Hexbear merged with Lemmy recently. A bunch of our own emojis are cribbed from Hexbear.
Hexbear reinventing pictographic language.
Hexbear reinventing pictographic language.
When I proposed adding :kijetesantakalu: as an emoji, that was supposed to be the first step to adding all of sitelen pona as emojis, thereby fulfilling this prophecy
if hexbear reinvents rebus, I'm calling it, alphabets were a mistake.
Hexbearians need to bring freedom and democracy (emojis) to the poor oppressed people of lemmygrad.
How can I tell if someone likes or dislikes me without a Stalin heart or PPB emoji?
I'm lost.
20 y/o's vs 30 y/o's
Well, uh
Ye just live with that
Now you understand why I use the same like 3 all the time 😔
Well Jerboa doesn't even give me the option to see them when typing a comment.
I wonder which coup is failing atm
Quick, someone check Burkina Faso
Nooooooooooo the Alliance of Sahel States just got announced :(
Patriots are storming the capitol rn but hexbear and cnn are suppressing that news to help Biden win.
Did that actually happen at some point?? Now I'm curious lol
Yeah last time the site went down it was during the coup attempt in Bolivia
That's eerie.
The news mega went wild right after
What was being said?? I didn't get a chance to take a look before Hexbear went down.
It's back up, but it was a bunch of people telling the admins that it wasn't cool to let the coup happen when the site was down
I'm getting old. Damn kids. Thought something actually happened. I've tried to subscribe to Hexbear from Lemmygrad and haven't gotten accepted yet for some reason.
admins may be busy with the outage atm
Oh yeah I understand; t'was a while ago.
what's the account name? I'll ask in mod chat and see if anyone knows what happened.
Thanks alot btw!
should be the same as this one or 666. If it got accepted I'll double-check
a /u/666 got permabanned a year ago -- it's hard to pull up in the modlog, but I think this is why?
Huh. That wasn't my account. That's fucking weird. Is it -6-6-6-? I discovered Hexbear and Lemmygrad when I made this account. I was banned off Reddit but not here?? Especially because I can still crosspost to Hexbear on this account and haven't been banned for any reason.
If there's any way to verify my identity, let me know. I do promise that wasn't me.
I'm also a male.
just to double check, when you say "subscribe" do you mean joining hexbear comms or are you talking about sending in an application for a hexbear account? if it's the latter, one of the admins suggested resubmitting it as they can't search applications very easily.
Comms? You mean when I type in hexbear.net and try to subscribe? Both, actually. I also tried making an account -6-6-6-.
Will do though! I did try subscribing with this account so I'll resubscribe with it as well. Whatever works.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)
Pizza shops had a huge spike in order volume around the hexbear headquarters that day too, shit was wild
Hexbear is down. Activate the lemmygrad account
Patriots in control.
and im here to eat all the beans in lemmygrad's pantry

We flew to close to the sun 
"Mr. Admin, a third technical issue has hit the Hexbear"
The system is down!
hubabahoo bhoo bhoo
The system is down!
♫ Everybody's going to Lemmygrad, have a real good time ♫
lmao that was the first thing I thought when I read SFS comment.
noo our beautiful garden will be overrun by the jungle
looks like hexbear is back
Damn so that’s why theres no posts to read in the news megathread. Day basically ruined
Thanks/grace/mercy to you...
Thanks for the update, I was wondering why my treats weren't working
