I mean, it seems pretty easy to do. That way we could diffrenciate between users much easier and help it feel more like a community.

i manually put it myself. the instance here is considerably closer to upstream lemmy than what hexbear seems to be running

there were some talk of modifications here but one of the admins got into an accident and is afaik still recovering and dealing with more important stuff (moving to cheaper hosting for one)

honestly it's a miracle this instance is as stable as it is given all the circumstances

Damn, o7 to your admins and mods for keeping the site running in that case, hope they're able to modify it at some point

Ngl it's kind of got me nostalgic to remember how shit hexbear used to run back in the day, way before Lemmy actually took off as a thing, like upvotes didn't work, all posts and comments >3 months old were hidden, and in the even earlier days /pol/ and donald.win users used to ddos the site repeatedly and try to dox admins, also we had an ongoing feud with some random irrelevant radical TERF message board that tried to brigade hexbear and miserably failed after some important person in the Australian TERF movement started tweeting about hexbear doing anti-cis bigotry lmao
