Just wanted everyone to know that using emojies through the colons, i.e. :example:, does not work outside of hexbear. Using the colon to find an emoji and then clicking on it so it transforms into ![name]() format does work.

It's not a problem for me, I know most of them, and if I don't I can just open it on hexbear to check. But I still wanted you all to know.

The example in the image is from the c/games sidebar btw.

This is the worst news ever

Not only should our emojis be visible on other instances, they should tower over all like mighty kaiju as they did in early days of federation

I think panting still shows up like the sun cresting the horizon.

I can confirm that it does.

Emojies do work outside of hexbear. Its specifically colon syntax that doesnt work.
