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.

No one cares, people can just put images in comments, that's all custom emojis are anyways, just images in comments.

Ahem. I am not a fan of encouraging people to post giant low-content images in Lemmy threads. It is really nice to have a mostly textual medium, and inserting huge Pikachus or Picards or Frys into it is not an improvement to this user experience. Many of the images in this thread appear at around ⅓ of screen height in the default browser UI, and they have very little new to say.

If this sort of feature has to exist, please consider limiting it to rather small images, more in the "icon" range than the "memegens" range.

I just assumed these would be, you know, emoji-sized emojis.

I think hexbear emojis are small on their instance but they are gigantic on every other instance. That might be the case here too. As a non world member I don't wish to see giant images.
