All these people shitting on hexbear made me discover it a few months ago. I was kinda accepting shitty things on other Lemmy instances such as libbed up shit and anti veganism as Im used to it IRL.
Finding hexbear was a godsent. The coomunity always feels very nice. I learn a lot of historical shit and can re experience the feeling of message boards on the late 90s early 2000s.
I still have no clue how to use the emoji pictures everyone's been using though. I copied one once in a post and gave up in all my subsequent ones lmao
Once you learn the emojis you unlock your true posting potential
There's a menu button here (at least on desktop) that shows the whole list, grouped by category:
Otherwise, just type a colon and start typing a word after it (with no spaces) to bring up the inline emoji picker, which will try to search on emoji name and/or keyword, e.g.,
is
:blahaj:but typing:transwill also show it in the list, because it has been tagged with "trans" as a keyword.The emote previews take so long to load for me. I only ever use the kelly one for puns mostly, but it's not the first result for kelly
These need some sort of caching mechanism. The UI is ass too because you can't see what is loaded/not-loaded, and everything shifts as it loads.
It's intentional. By forcing people to memorize a bunch of obscure emoji tags we're rewiring their brains into an understanding of the immortal science of Marxism-Leninism
This is called materialism
boy have i had it all wrong ๐
A CDN would be ideal, but that's kind of rough on our operating budget.
True, but this should probably be tackled upstream.
Like adding (some subset of) emoji using the cache storage API in the lemmy-ui project.
Idk if thumbnails are ever generated for the images either or just served raw from pict-rs, but IMO lemmy should be downscaling emojis to common resolutions for use in the UI, so users aren't loading 400 thicc ass image files just to open the picker. Would also decrease bandwidth usage on threads that have a bunch of emotes.
Thanks for the explanation!
If you know the name of it you can do :emoji-name: and if you want to see the name of an emoji someone else used you can press the "View Source" button on their comment (looks like a piece of paper) to see it's text code or hover your mouse over it.
For example
is : logo : (without the spaces)
Alternatively, as you are typing up a comment there is a little smiley face button above the text field you can press for a little emoji selecter ui.
Same for me just last september
First you type a : then a menu pops up. That's only if your on the web (best experience). I usually use Voyager and it has no Emoji menu or support in the comment/post editor (bad experience).
