Introducing LW Emoji Contest! - Lemmy.World

lemmy.world

Hello World, Nothing as exciting as emojis, right? We would like to make it easier for you to express yourselves, so we’ll be adding custom emojis to Lemmy.World. The question is, which ones? Let’s pick together! So, we’re reaching out to everyone with a Lemmy.World account: Please provide a link to the image you’d like to suggest and upvote the ones you’d like to see! The most upvoted emoji’s will, after review, be added to our list of custom emojis. The emojis can be used by anyone on Lemmy.World in comments and posts.

One of the funniest things to happen in my long and storied internet career, completely impossible to explain without having been there though.

But when the site came back up and there’s just the apology/explanation post with that image attached to it, fucking lol

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !emoji@hexbear.net

A workshop for the memes of production.

Submit new emoji here.

A good submission is:

Visually clear at a small size (120 pixel width) [This does not mean upload the small image, this means upload the source image or full size cutout but test prior.]
Have a transparent background to the greatest degree possible. This online tool can remove many backgrounds.
Display a clear emotion or purpose
If including text, should be properly sized to be readable
“Evergreen” and not something that will be irrelevant after the next news cycle
Formatted in PNG, GIF, or SVG to make our file optimization cycles easier. If svg initially, send svg in a seperately hosted link to WhyEssEff. Same with gif, as we render them as mp4 IIRC.
Have proposed title as the title of the post, nothing more, nothing less.
Post body should include a suggested category and keywords.
Max height of 3 times the width.

Rules:

No reactionary or reactionary-adjacent expressions. The purpose of an image is what it expresses. Some clear examples for this rule:
- Allowed: Broken fasces, burning stars-and-bars, rotated Mussolini
- Disallowed: Body-shaming, Pepes, gay-shaming the enemy (e.g. those pictures of Putin and Trump that libs love to post), certain hateful wojaks (even if recontextualized)
- If you think you have touched on a grey area, see rule 7 for how to litigate this.
~~Nothing Vaush-related is allowed~~
- To be honest, I broke this rule, so it’s pretty much moot. Just run it by me first in DMs or matrix. Vaush is a bit of a dead horse, so to speak, so they’re still generally discouraged. The qualification for a viable emote referencing his existence is more a matter of execution -- @WhyEssEff
No desecration of religious imagery. This includes things like burning Israeli/Saudi flag emojis. If you can modify the flags while still accurately representing countries without including said imagery, it is much preferred.
- A grey area can be argued around whether the symbol has colloquially evolved past its religious origins (one example of this that can be relatively agreed upon is the Union Jack, which is more a symbol of colonialism if anything). See rule 7 for how to litigate this.
Nothing sexually explicit or overtly horny is allowed
- :hentai-free:
No sectarianism in submissions. Pro-tendency content is fine, but we will not accept content degrading specific tendencies.
No gore, no SA, no sui-bait. Nothing that could reasonably trigger a comrade.
If you think you’re touching on a grey area with a submission, message @whyesseff:matrix.org to clear it before you post.
- DISCLAIMER: Clearing does not necessarily mean that I’ll add it, just that it’s alright to submit and the rules will not be the barrier to its addition -- @WhyEssEff
No content that breaks the Hexbear Code Of Conduct.

Emoji are added to the codebase periodically. Emoji may or may not be accepted and the dev team has final decision.

All images submitted must be ones you have the right to share with the project. By posting images in this comm, you are agreeing that you have permission to share this image with the project.

Hexbear Code Of Conduct, ToS, Privacy Policy, etc all still apply.
