I’m a heavy emoji user, texting is such a poor medium for communication, many times people get the wrong message, but with an emoji you’ll get an idea of the face I’m making, so less chance of misunderstanding
I noticed that every time I add an emoji to a comment it gets downvoted, so I tested my theory, wrote a comment without an emoji, got upvotes, went back and added an emoji, got downvotes…
On Reddit people use emojis a lot, on Lemmy I NEVER saw anyone use emojis, my account is new but still for the time I spent here, I never saw the use of emojis
So, is it just me, have you noticed this small detail ? and do you miss emojis the way I do ? 😭
One reason is that they don’t translate well depending on the instance. For example, emojis from hexbear are extremely large on lemmy, which irritates some users when a comment section is full of emojis.
Emojis are standardized and part of Unicode.
Those things are server-side custom images that are inserted with html.
Ah right. I just assumed the OP also meant those images. I stand corrected.
