Nothing official yet, but Hexbear may be bringing some of their previous devs back to contribute upstream. Along with that would come a userbase roughly comparable to lemmy.ml’s daily activity. Their daily megathread regularly surpasses 1000 comments

    I hope they start contributing upstream, their fork looks really nice and ti would be awesome if they could merge some of that.

      In terms of looks, their entire frontend was rewritten from the ground up in React. So some of that may be reusable but I’m sure the design itself will be reused either way

        Emoji support would indeed be super awesome. but from the comments in Hexbear it seems everyone would like to remain as a fork.

      I’m working on redoing posts a bit, but some things I’m changing seem like they were design choices to do the opposite of what I’m doing.
