I haven't added any custom emoji from scratch, but Alex has, and I encourage Jawns to submit emoji that you would like to see. Custom emoji can be PNG or GIF files up to 50kb in size, can be still or animated, can contain transparent backgrounds.
@yonkeltron I can't find any information either way about #SVG custom #emoji in Mastodon.
It would not surprise me if custom SVGs were intentionally not supported, because they are often considered more of a security risk than raster files (debatable, but a reasonable position to take). SVG files can include JavaScript, for example.
N(e)orat (pronounced no-rat or neorat, whichever you prefer) is an upcoming emoji set that was created as a response to Volpeon’s neocat and neofox emoji sets (no shade thrown, ILY volp) - except with rats!
Tomorrow I plan to release the initial set of the emotes, which you will be free to use on any non-commercial platform!
Another thing I like about #Misskey's custom emoji reactions is that I can get the gist of what a post written in a language I do not understand is saying via the reactions being given by the cool people of misskey.io. So even if #DeepL is not giving me translations that don't make sense, I can tell for example that @syuilo is hungry from the numerous pizza emojis being given :blobcatnompizza: and give a ":yuyuko_corndog:" :koakuma_giggle:
So thanks #Japan for Misskey and #emoji! :cirno_thumbs_up:
'Too many cats, not enough crustaceans: The current emoji catalog doesn't accurately represent the breadth of biodiversity seen in nature -- and that hurts conservation efforts, according to scientists. An analysis published Monday in the journal iScience found that while animals are well represented by the current emoji catalog, plants, fungi, and microorganisms get short shrift.'
Der freischaffende Künstler Harvey Ball braucht nicht sehr lange für das fröhliche Symbol. Er zeichnet einen Kreis, malt ihn gelb aus und setzt zwei Punkte, die Augen, und einen Halbkreis, den Mund, hinein. Zehn Minuten später ist der Smiley geboren. 🙂
To all Naturists/Nudists:
Please add the #NaturistSymbol#emoji to your profil on your social media accounts!
As long as there is no official emoji these two emojis are used as a alternative:

(Universal Naturist Symbol
The Universal Naturist Symbol was voted for by naturists from all over the world in October 2020. The purpose is to recognize naturists, even when they wear clothes. www.NaturistSymbol.org)
My old #Samsung Galaxy S7 doesn't have the thread/yarn #emoji - I can't continue my existing threads ... well, AND prefix my posts with the proper icon - manage expectations.
It's a perfectly performing smart phone - even the battery is in great shape, still (80% club! 🤓👍) - all it lacks, is current software / updates / support. 😡
Plenty of bells and whistles - NFC, international GNSS, Wi-Fi 5/ac, great camera, and then some.
... 🧵 there's the Google keyboard (still called Gboard?) ...a replacement on-screen #keyboard for #Android; does this thing feature the "new" thread/yarn #emoji?
To maximize efficiency and keep up with modern culture, you are now encouraged to communicate exclusively in emojis.
Express the intricacies of your utopian life through smiley faces, thumbs up, and the occasional XD.
Words are sooooo last century.
Remember: Happiness is mandatory. Sad and/or angry emojis are treasonous.
Tajusin just, että ei ole ainuttakaan positiivista kylmään liittyvää emojia. 😅 Tälläisissä asiayhteyksissä huomaa että pohjoisilla leveysasteilla asumisessa on edelleen tiettyä eksoottisuutta.
One of these days, I'm gonna get good at doing the Emoji stuff on my phone. I just, like, why would some one spend seconds going to a whole new keyboard, and fidning an Emoji in that big long list, or hitting a search box and typing what they're looking for? Like I feel like it'd take me a long time. I do kinda wish there was a way to just do that quickly in Braille, like hit a command and type "smile" in Braille, hit Enter, and "arrow" through results, kinda like the app search on the home screen we have now.
Le Dessous des images est une excellent émission mais en plus aujourd’hui, on parle d’emoji !
Qui les crée, quels sont les enjeux etc
C’est un format court donc ils peuvent pas parler de tout mais j’aurai bien aimé des plateformes qui comme Fedi, permettent d’uploader ses propres emojis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kWGzVcPS64
