Just a heads up from a desktop user (E: on kbin) - they don't show up as emojis alongside the text like normal one would but rather as a link to an image (which you can click to open in-comment).
Yeah, I imagine it's just one of those things that'll get ironed out with time, and they're still visible, so that's good! Just thought I'd let you (and others who use them) know that not everyone sees them as you intended them to be seen (I assume!) 😊
In the comment editor hit the smile button (4th from the left) then when the emoji selector comes up, select the emoji catagory at the far right with a star symbol ( * ) to get server specific emoji
On kbin, these emojis show up as full size, page-wide images for me, lol
I’m not complaining, just stating it as I assume it looks different for Lemmy users.
[edit] Just checked this thread on my Blåhaj profile and they have their normal small size there. Kind of funny to see how it’s handled in different webapps.
