I know I'm not in trouble, but I do feel bad that I'm probably the reason blahaj.zone will defederate with hexbear. I just thought they had an insane take on what hexbear was and posted it in the_dunk_tank. I included a link because I am not a 
but also I am a and so are all of you and I'm sorry for that as well.
Sorry, I don't use an app. I just use the Firefox app feature of making a website into a dedicated app.
Do other instances display images properly? I think the way our emotes are supposed to work like inline images do across lemmy, but I might be wrong.
They do, in that there’s an image link, but the content is properly shifted around it so it can be read.
Hexbear content also gives the image link (tho your comment above seems to have combined them all into one link), but the comment around it gets partially hidden and garbled. I’ve heard your gifs are really big, that may be why?
Either way, this app doesn’t have direct messaging and doesn’t handle a lot of stuff well, like multiple image posts, so looking for other options. Since hex seems to be the most problematic presently (no offense intended, ofc 😜) I figured I’d start with something that works for y’all, if I can find it.
Hopefully this is something that gets fixed by the pull request around properly sizing instance emotes.
Woof, I downloaded -every iOS app- (plus the pwa I was using before the apps were available) and loaded your comment to see if it worked and I understand now what people mean when they say your images are really big 😅 it took a lot of scrolling to get back to this. So yeah, hopefully that gets fixed lol
On a side note, because I asked and now have something of an answer, and I’m a good information citizen:
Lemmios and thunder seem to… work…. Slightly better… I can read the content around the giant pics, so that’s a drastic improvement. Of the two, thunder is more reasonably sized, so I’ll be using that for a while. (Voyager and wefwef make each image a unique text link, but don’t render them, Mlem gives a broken link indicator, and I couldn’t figure out how to get back here on liftoff, so dud anyway. I also tried bean, but it just tried indefinitely to load them, and the app I was getting garble with was memmy)
That's good to know! Thunder is the only one I've briefly tried out and it seemed nice, but I immediately missed the color scheme of hexbear lol. I got too used to it.
Yes, I’m on Memmy too and many hexbear comments are unreadable due to emote images preview/links going on top of the text. I’m going to try Thunder, thanks for asking the question and doing the research!!

Just doing my part! It’s way way better on thunder!
Oh, hey, I’m on Thunder and it’s much better! Thanks again!
I’m glad to hear!
I’ve requested the Thunder dev add instance information for comments as well, so you can more easily see -who- you are interacting with (niche subs like hex tell you a ton) which is the only thing it doesn’t have that I neeeeeeeeed. Feel free to go add your support to it if you like ;)
