I've just saw the flag on Mastodon but the gray color was replaced with the because there's no gray square emoji. I don't know why this is funny. 😂

Don't mind me, I'm just testing the brand new custom emoji picker in Tuba :antifa: :vegan: :bedbug: :verified:

Looks like pol.social needs more custom emojis @piotrsikora :)

Question to my #Blind audience: does anybody know, was there at least a trial to make a #Braille table for #emoji characters?

IMHO, the 💢 emoji is quite underrated.

What other do you feel are underrated?

This week I combined and in some very serious code and it all worked on the first try.

Which of these do you consider well-suited to go after the supportive phrase "you got this"?

What is a good (Unicode) emoji for showing a source? Perhaps ➡️ ?

@MagicLike @askfedi
Like source for a quote? An annotation/attribution/footnote?

Good question 🤔

I like to use 🤓 and then a link back to the source of anything smart

Or 🙏🏼/😊 to show thanks for somebody bringing something to my attention (like: link to article or image or whatever, then 🙏🏼/☺️ and the person’s name or tag

@MagicLike @askfedi
The most popular are faces, hands and hearts, so going for those will likely grab people’s attention, if that’s what you want

@MagicLike @askfedi
If you want something less smiley (wait, why use ? 😹)

🔙 maybe?

The emotion ones work to at least indicate gratitude 🙏🏼 or appreciation for intelligence 🤓 (stereotype, but hey, I wear glasses)

The other ones may require explanation, so an indicator of a footnote might require a footnote?

I find the least used emojis almost as interesting as the most used ones

Flags are the least used category

@MagicLike @askfedi
So stopped accepting new flags ☠️

And put a hold on new emoji proposals untill 2024

They may be re-examining the proposal process to encourage less “useless” , and more ones people will want? 🤷🏻‍♂️

We've added some new to this mastodon/fediverse server!

compass,

If you want to talk about the OpenStreetMap data model there's now these emoji:

:osm_area: :osm_closed_way: :osm_way: :osm_node: :osm_relation: :osm_relation_member: :osm_tag: :osm_tag_key: :osm_tag_value:

compass,

For OSM apps, there's these emoji:

:mapcomplete: :mapsme: :osm_id: :osmand: :overpass: :potlatch: :streetcomplete: :vespucci:

compass,

OpenStreetMap is based on mappers talking to each other. Here's some emojis to help

:vote_yes: :vote_no: :vote_neutral: :vote_abstain: :vote_wat: :uncanny: :thonk: :this_green: :this_pink:

I just realized that has functionality using some text within colons :grinning_face_with_sweat: ... not that one!? 😲 Oh well... I guess I'll keep using my text replacer for emojis 😅

↑ that one is just ##hehe for me, using espanso. Works great on Linux or Windows and, reportedly, on macOS, too.

I'm just using the web-based Mastodon client.

Hi 👋

I'm looking for how to turn off animated emojis (emoji?)

On the one hand, they are cute and fun. But on the other hand they are a distraction.

I don't want others to stop using these! I just want to stop the animation that's shown on my screen because I have limited mental energy.

Is that possible? I'm using the web interface and none of the options I've tried (see image) have helped.

    @brandont I think they look good.

    5 years ago I was working with a team & got used to putting emojis in console log messages.

    I have been doing it ever since.

    🧵6️⃣ Upcoming event alert! Workshop: Using Emoji to Learn Chinese Characters and History 🀄️

    I’m co-hosting this event with the Malaysia Design Archive and Ilham Gallery. Register here: https://forms.gle/TS5NPbxZeStABch27

    It’s both kids and adults friendly – and everyone will fill out a half workbook half coloring book zine together 📝

    A cover of a zine called The Hanmoji Workbook adorns the bottom left. Coming out of the zine is a speech bubble that says “Fill me out please!” On the right of the zine is a cartoon pig dressed up as a Classical Chinese scholar.
