how do I use emojis (hexbear.net)

:sicko: is the format right? But when I use it in posts or comments it never works. Is it because I'm on a mobile app (jerboa)?

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

Probably the app. When you type in : and begin to add letters it should give you a pop-up list of emojis with that word.

I agree. I'm on an app too, though I'm using Connect. When I use the code to put an emoji in my comments:

  • if the comment is both written and viewed from Connect, it won't show up for me

  • if the comment originates on the web and is viewed in Connect, the emoji will show up.

  • if the comment is written in Connect and viewed from the web interface, it also will show up.

So, I memorize the ones I like, then if I have any doubts, I check the comment on the web to see if it worked. Or jump over to the web interface to look them up if I can't remember the names, and just comment there where I can check that it worked.

Idk, I feel like writing all this out is an invitation for the "Why are you using an app?!?" inquisition, but hopefully this time they come with not just questions but also tips and tricks for customizing the browser interface that help me break my app addiction.

Edit - also, feel I should mention: the only emoji from you in this thread that shows up for me properly is the Marx one you posted the long image code for. Test time - can you see mine? :party-blob:
