Did you know that each Mastodon server has its own custom emoji?

Each server admin can upload images :cate: or animations :rickroll: which are available to anyone on that server. Ask your admin if you want a particular emoji added to your server.

To access them on an app, click the app's own emoji button (usually a smiley 😃 ). For normal emoji, click the picker on your phone's keyboard.

To access them on the web, click the emoji picker in the post writing box (which looks like this 😂 ).

@feditips Do those emojis show up on other instances or are they blank images?

@feditips Custom emojis are usually very, very bad, though.

People just upload whatever images, not thinking that images small enough to accompany text have to remain legible to be really useful.

Even ordinary emojis can be too cluttered for their size, sometimes. Custom ones take this to the 10th power.

"The picker on your phone's keyboard" - TIL that you have to long press enter to get the standard emoji picker on the AOSP keyboard.
