You’re probably better off finding a bot someone else has already made. Here’s a few.
Adding the community name is a big help, and like I said, the post title can be there but not canonical. https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/post/152773/Lemmy_URLs_should_be_human-meaningful would work just as well as https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/post/152773.
But purely title based URLs is a really bad idea. Multiple posts can have the same title.
Also I don’t see the reason why /post/ helps with readability more than /p/.
Just nicer tbh.
https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/post/XYZ123 as the canonical url would be best IMO. Then the title following can be optional. But post
instead of p
seems like a good idea, not too much longer, but helps readability.
Originally a fork of lemmy, it currently uses both a rewritten front and back end AFAIK (I haven’t actually contributed to hexbear’s codebase so I’m not 100% sure). We’re looking to go back to being a proper fork/lemmy instance, which is why we’re starting to contribute hexbear features to lemmy.
We don’t federate with lemmy right now because we forked before lemmy had federation, and adding federation to the rewrite would have been too much work. But once we get hexbear stuff into lemmy we’ll switch over and should be able to federate.
And yeah, like the other person said, we were users of /r/ChapoTrapHouse who made the site after the sub got banned. It was originally called chapo.chat before we decided to move away from Chapo.

=P
lol that was actually a bit of an issue when I opened the PR. Apparently it has some accessibility issues so Dessalines is avoiding it. I’ll need to look more into how to use it while maintaining accessibility and work with Dessalines on that.
Clicking on a post and going “back” doesn’t involve any loading
Huh, I’m not sure I even realized that.
Video embeds
Definitely on the list, I’ve done a bit of research into that but it’ll need some back end changes and idk Rust (yet). I’ll need to see when other hexbear devs get up to speed on contributing to lemmy.
Expanders on the left
Do you mean clicking the thumbnail expanding the embed or post body? I already brought that over for image posts. I can get that going to for self posts as well.
Site-flair
Right now hexbear only has pronoun flairs. We’ve actually been wanting to add user defined flairs too. I’ve put a bit of thought into a generic, instance and community customizable flair system, so that’s definitely on the list.
dark mode by default!
There’s actually already an option for instance admins to pick the default theme.
Hi, I’m a dev from hexbear and it looks like my first UI changes (relating to post listings) were included in this release.
Here are the changes I made:
I’d love to hear any feedback or ideas anyone here may have.
lol imagine thinking it will all be over before next year
