Why are Lemmy posts and replies (almost?) emoji free? - I like the small emotion symbols, they add a softer human feel to things :]

That made me realise of one thing, if I’m on PC I have no idea how to write an emoji. I don’t even know if they’re available, I imagine they are, but not a clue of how.
On Windows, it’s Windows key + .
On Linux, there’s an app called Characters to copy paste emojis from, and some apps use custom key combinations such as Super + ;, or Fn + ;, or something like that
It’s windows + : for me?
That’s how I roll.
There are also browser extensions.
you can also use rofi as a helper
I think this is probably a big part of it actually. If you’re inserting emojis you’re probably on a phone, so you’re probably interacting with the discussion in a quite different way than if you were on a PC. It’s not as comfortable to write longer, better-thought-out comments.
People pick up on these implications and judge people accordingly.
