Why are Lemmy posts and replies (almost?) emoji free? - I like the small emotion symbols, they add a softer human feel to things :]

Because no one on lemmy has emotions of course :3 /j
(But ever since I figured out that entering LLAP into the compose key thingy results in the vulcan salute emoji (
) I have considered signing off my posts with that lol) -

I love Kaomoji and use them in most of my comments. So far I felt like people are very neutral here when it comes to this topic but iirc other platforms weren't very fond of emojis so I guess a lot of users are just not used to it.
When I use emojis I try to use as little as possible because they feel kind of overused to me and a text with several emojis just doesn't read well for me.

Because they make you seem like an AI or spammer or a boomer.

Lmao I use emojis alot of the time
But not every comment is appropriate for emojis, and I feel like overusing it makes me look like a bot or a weirdo, so I don't do it unless it really fits the tone of the comment

I've had someone question whether I'm a bot or not because I use so many emojis ๐ฅฒ

My take on it is that emojis are used more in casual or interpersonal conversations where they do add tone and emphasis. Most of the topics, at least on my feed, are technical or political and emojis either seem unnecessary/out of place there.

That made me realise of one thing, if I'm on PC I have no idea how to write an emoji. I don't even know if they're available, I imagine they are, but not a clue of how.

It's kind of funny how I was recently thinking that Lemmy and other Fediverse services seem to be at least tolerant of occasional emoji use. Just don't overdo it and you'll probably be fine.
Compared to, say, Reddit. If you used emoji there, you either got murdered by the spam filter and you will never succeed in your life and you don't know why (there are other ways to trigger it, of course), or it goes through, and the fedoras shall descend upon you.

On Windows, it's Windows key + .
On Linux, there's an app called Characters to copy paste emojis from, and some apps use custom key combinations such as Super + ;, or Fn + ;, or something like that

wrote last edited by [email protected]They're in the unicode table thing. "Character Map"utility in Windows should have them. There's also online things to just turn regular text into fancy text.
The O, however, is the hurricane/swirl emoji.
