I've been here since the post r/CTH ban discord lifeboat days, and I'm still amazed at how dense the history of this community is. There's so much apocrypha that will be lost to time if we don't perpetuate it by putting to writing what each of us remembers personally.

Up until recently, there was this whole-ass over a year long period wherein posts and comments disappeared from search and user histories if they were more than a couple months old. The extensively forked lemmy code Hexbear used just couldn't handle such a large database, we had to return to the main lemmy branch to regain that stuff. I feel this saga disconnected us from our history on this site. Many of the funniest struggle sessions and incidents have all but disappeared from the site's cultural memory as a result.

The year long path to migration back to lemmy started because I was annoyed that the page refreshed randomly on mobile view and it annoyed me enough to start poking around and get involved with the dev team.

Thank you for your service.

I took an extended grasstouching break and came back recently. Idk if people who are on here daily notice how much better and more responsive the site is now. Wish I could still make emojis bigger with # though

Oh yeah you left the D&D server and then I don't think any of us heard from you again. You missed @Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net using his breath weapon in the sewers and decimating the trade district.

Yeah, I was going through a pretty rough time, and as much as I liked the idea of being in that game, I had a bunch of other shit that I needed to work on. Thankfully I'm in a much better place now

In my defense, at that moment I was also at an extremely low point in my life. Usually I'm not the type of guy to initiate a total party kill but I was in a real not good mood that day

Just make an account on a different instance. Emotes are HUGE over here.

It's so cool. And it really made other instances extremely mad and was very funny

Pigpoopballs just hits different when it takes up half the screen. (Sadly, only the cartoon one does that.)

This action resulted in a dramatic improvement to the enjoyability of my time fucking around online, and I am very appreciative. Thank you!!
