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.

    Emojis are a good way to try and mitigate the ubiquitous assumption of context that happens on text based forums.

    Which is to say they’ve got a little upwards curve in indicating intelligence at the beginning prior to the plummet into dumpster fire territory you’re associating them with… and I don’t actually disagree with that, just a friendly addendum ;)
