          Press the smiley face button and look at the full list

          holy shit, this whole time I was just typing a colon and then trying to remember the names of each individual one. Is this a new feature from the update or have I been doing this wrong for the last three years? agony-consuming

            it’s always been there, but now the list also allows you to search by tags/keywords not just the designated name of the emote which is neat. This does require the admins to actually tag the emotes tho, which I think is only partially done judging by my difficulty finding some lately

            I was legitimately making this mistake and using the old emoji reference website to look the names up for two years

            i can feel the pain of this post

        Hexbear has an emote feature, you can add images on any instance with ctrl+v in chat though. Not sure if you’re on mobile.

        Hexbear developed an emote feature on their Lemmy fork years ago, and then converged back to Lemmy’s mainline code in order to federate, so they have a selection menu that adds a little image. Anyone can add images with the picture feature (there’s a button, or you can copy-paste and image), Hexbear just made a convenient list of hundreds of small images.

        You can also click the View Source button on a comment in the [more] options, if someone does something funky and you want to learn how they formatted it. Like inline code.
