Why? WHYYYYYY? Do we really need this shit in Unicode? Or did we fucking run out of things to do as far as writing systems are concerned? Somebody over at Unicode Consortium has too much free time, g-sus.
Seems to work on #MissKey.> They can convey meaning well
If everyone agrees on the meaning of the picture, sure, but this is not the case. Various emojis can have vastly different meanings to different groups of people. If you're also going to add in custom emojis this is going to be even worse, you're throwing around emojis that are literally undefined by the majority of the world population.
With your example "boosts appreciated", making a hashtag BoostsAppreciated is clear, concise, and accessible to all. I've never even heard of a dedicated emoji for this, and if you suddenly started to use those I'd have to wonder what you're trying to convey, and use the alt-text to actually get anywhere. Seems like more hassle than just using text in the first place.> They can be used in addition to other textual hashtags
This is true, but do you expect people to just use double the hashtags going forward? One with readable text, the other in image form which you then have to hope works in every context?> textual hashtags [...] aren't always as accessible in their meaning either
Everyone can make "bad" hashtags, but I don't think making the pool worse is going to improve that. If any, it'd make it worse, now people can make bad hashtags with both text and images.> There are cultures around emoji use, that give meaning in certain contexts, and those cultures are part of social fabric and cohesion then
That sounds like a rather big assumption. Are you aware of any cultures that are currently unable to use hashtags, that have a strict need to use basically any image they can think of? To me this sounds incredibly unlikely, especially in the context of the #Fediverse.
I had assumed that #emoji which were unique to an instance were most likely created by someone on that instance. That's definitely not the case given how few are unique to is-a.wyvern.rip, the solo instance for Volpeon... creator of the original neofox and neocat.
Pleroma.envs.net (hereafter PEN) has the most unique ones with a whopping 191. Second and third are void.rehab and woem.space with 42 and 41.
There's no single reason PEN has so many but the neofox_halo series, unique neobread variants, and so many more combinations of hugs are major contributors.
Gib.schmus.is has a lot of unique woozy variants, but not all of them.
I would have thoughtneobun came out in the past week by how suddenly it appeared and spread but it's apparently older than that? I found a post on tech.lgbt mentioning neobun already existed but they seem to be the server with the most unique ones on it. Just another piece of evidence that I have more work to do.
I'm starting to see a few created by #neomojimixer getting added to servers. That's cool. I'm glad that project is improving and spreading.
I wonder what makes things like neocat_final_form almost universal among servers that have it but neocat_bongo_fast has at least 4 different names.
J'ai une requête nulle et pas du tout essentielle MAIS : en gros je sais qu'il existe la version anarqueer de l'emoji que j'ai en guise d'avatar, c'est-à-dire avec le bandana rose au lieu qu'il soit noir (jsp si j'suis clair mais il est tard demain j'ai partiel mon cerveau fond) parce que askip le bloc c'est pas qu'un truc d'antifa mascu muscu
Si quelqu'un a le fichier de cet #emoji je lui en serait reconnaissant à tout jamais merci que la paix soit sur vous et avec votre espr... ah non merde c'est la messe ça pardon
I am putting too much thought into how to find, compare, and compile the neo* #emoji variants. Legs, spider, devil snake legs, final form, eating legs, woozy, scream, junior, plead, woem, and halo are the ones I've found so far.
Tracking down creators and licenses is going to be so much work :neopossum_floof_sad:
@christian@larma We (The XSF / People who write and implement XEPs) have a tendency to wait with advancing a XEP to stable until we have sufficient implementation experience.
Your question (which matters more for end users) should be: Why hasn't this been implemented?
Implementing reactions is not as straight as it might seem. Both #Conversations_im and #Gajim wanted to rewrite the database layer to accommodate this feature. On the Conversations side we also wanted to rework the UI before this.
facer que apareza na barra de suxestións o emoji(s) relacionado coa palabra que estamos a escribir
Requerimentos
Ir a Axustes, Ortografía, Suxestións e marcar a opción Mostrar suxestións de corrección.
Optativo, e recomendo, desactivar Corrección Automática.
Hai dous métodos, complementarios:
Método 1
Máis lento inicialmente pero en realidade abonda para o 99% dos casos, porque repetimos sempre os mesmos emojis. Se non sabes inglés pois é o método recomendado.
Imos a Axustes > Ortografía > Dicionario Peroal
Seleccionamos o Galego (ou Para todos os idiomas, da igual)
Abre unha pantalla onde abaixo prememos en Engadir Unha Palabra +
Onde pon Escribe unha palabra engadimos o emoji que queremos (co teclado). Exemplo: ☁️
En Atallo, engadimos a "clave" ou "palabra" que fará que se mostre a suxestión. Exemplo: "nub". Algo que non sexa moi restrictivo, así vale para nube, nubrado, nubosidade, cuberto, ...
e xa estaría! Imos a escribir algo nun cadro de texto de calquera aplicación e se escribimos "nub" veremos que na barra de suxestións aparece
Engades á man esa ducia de emojis que usas con frecuencia e xa estaría.
Método 2
engadimos o dicionario inglés experimental, que polo visto funciona mellor neso de suxerir emojis (eu non probei cos dous, fun directo a este).
podes engadir o de castelán se queres ou te apañas mellor que co de inglés, pero igual te lía máis, ti verás.
En _Idiomas e Disposicións*: activar o Galego e premer no seu nome para a) en Escritura en varios idiomas b) engadir o Inglés (ou o Castelán)
para que apareza a suxestión deberemos escribir a palabra en inglés que está relacionada co emoji. No exemplo proposto: "cloud"
Método 3 (hipotético)
que alguén teña xa un dicionario persoal feito e cho envíe para instalar 😬
isto podería ser unha publicación no blog 🤷♂️ ou un vídeo de peertube. Nah! 😅
Does anyone know where the :aneocat_bongo: (:aneocat_bongo:) #emoji originally came from? I assumed it was from @volpeon but it's not actually in the package. I want to make sure that I give credit to whomever made it.
