You might want to look into controlnet and regional prompter.
Controlnet is sort of surface-level similar to img2img, it lets you use another image, even just a very rough sketch, as sort of a base for the overall composition and layout. It's a lot less heavyhanded than img2img tends to be though so you really do get an image with a similar pose rather than just a grafting of one character's features onto another.
Regional prompter lets you break the output into regions and have different prompts for different regions. The most obvious use is getting multiple characters in one image but you can also use it to position a single character in a background, or get props in specific places, or etc.
There have also been some new versions of HLL, I don't know which one you had when you left but there's almost certainly been at least 1 newer one since
