Oh yay! Federation happened!

[-] [email protected] 52 points 2 years ago

Yes! Big appreciation to our admins for making it happen!

[-] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago

And to ours at Lemmygrad, who have tried to make the transition smoother (introducing custom emotes, etc.)

Liberals on the internet just felt an overwhelming sense of dread settle upon them and don't yet know why.

Also hi!

A spectre, perchance?

Ironically, the owls are not peaceful.

The owls are not what they seem

And, importantly, emojis

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

Oh dear. They're huge on mobile at least

[-] [email protected] 36 points 2 years ago

on the list of things to do is to resize all our hexbear emojis so they look normal when federating.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

It depends on the client you are using. Agreed, doesn’t look great through the browser looking at Lemmygrad’s view on the post. Memmy for iOS doesn’t handle the HB emojis very well either. On Hexbear they look fine: https://hexbear.net/post/283821

So can I use my hexbear emotes here? party-sicko

Looks like I can. Blessed comrades of lemmygrad, I'm excited to post with you all. fidel-cool

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

The secret is that they're actually just small regular images they added to a convenient menu.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

i choose to believe it's magic because that's unsettling

Hey, there, [email protected]. It's nice to meet you! It's almost as if we're the same person or something, lol. Praise the Padishah Kaiserin!

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

[-] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago

So this is the hexbear/lemmygrad post on lemmygrad and the other one is the hexbear/ lemmygrad post on hexbear?

Weird, but almost nostalgic experience to be a Chapo head since The Poop Touchening episode or thereabouts, follow it from Reddit to Chapo.chat, then hexbear, then sort of fall out of touch with it for years, then see it pop back up here on the fediverse.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

Tell me the story of the poop touchening please! 🥺🙏

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

@[email protected]

So the poop touching story was from I believe the 2018 midterms. Matt Christman had made a bet that the Dems would do poorly (I believe) with Virgil (Who's Virgil?) and Virgil won because he generally speaking had a better grasp mathematically of the horse-race of electoral politics (which is why he was a wonk about them mattering). When Matt lost, he had to 'touch the poop', which was I believe Virgil's cat's poop.

Details may vary. It's amazing to me that I remember that much.

Edit: it was also done live on-pod. I'd say it's about the closest the pod ever got to 'Adam shitting himself on air'.
