What exactly is hexbear btw? Is it a fork of lemmy? Does it federate with lemmy?

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:
- Expanded image and body now show below the rest of the listing.
- And also offset to not be under the votes and thumbnail.
- Post title doesn't jump to a new line when you expand the image.
- Thumbnail doesn't disappear when you expand the image.
- Does not apply on mobile since things don't jump around as much.
- Clicking expanded image opens the original in a new tab.
- Does not apply on mobile since you can just long press.
- Instead tapping the image closes it.
- pictrs images now prefer the original format over jpg.
- Rendering split into many functions to improve readability.
- Post actions are now on the same line as the comments button.
- Post actions now show on mobile.
- Comments button made larger.
- Expanding or contracting an image now expands or contracts the body.
I'd love to hear any feedback or ideas anyone here may have.

It's a fork of Lemmy made for the now defunct /r/ChapoTrapHouse community from Reddit. It does not federate with Lemmy.

I have been using reddit for more than a decade now and I had no idea about that sub. TIL, thank you.

THANK you! Lemmy is feature rich but the UI is so confusing for new users. Super happy to see someone helping out with it :)

Let me know if there's any specific confusing parts of the UI and I can take a look.

Now that there's someone interested in UX on board, I might record some user tests. Would you be interested?

I wouldn't know about organizing something like that, but I'm happy to go along.
