On a related note, r-ChapoDogHouse is the last remaining chapo (in the name) sub that I know of. There was a porm themed one that lasted a while, but it got nuked eventually.

There’s a workaround to do it from a federated instance but it’s annoying to do. On hexbear it’ll just autocomplete emojis after you put a colon and start typing.
Yeah, I feel like the emoji system within Lemmy could stand to be improved. There isn’t a way in the UI to target an instance and then utilize its emoji. The emoji is retrievable from the API at the
https://hexbear.net/api/v3/siteendpoint undercustom_emojis. Each entry has all the data you need to query the emoji. The interface would need someway to reference other instance’s emoji."custom_emojis": [ { "custom_emoji": { "id": 68, "local_site_id": 1, "shortcode": "two-wolves-1", "image_url": "https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/da7debc4-92f4-4d35-a27a-1dc2676a3477.png", "alt_text": "two-wolves-1", "category": "Abolish the Animal Kingdom", "published": "2023-06-17T21:15:35.303290Z" }, "keywords": [ { "custom_emoji_id": 68, "keyword": "inside" } ] },The base Lemmy UI allows for using the
:character to search the local instance’s emoji like we have on Hexbear.Likely, what would need to be added is a way to “federate” or sync the emoji from various instances. I’m sure it would be trivial to write a script that periodically queried a list of instances and pulled their custom_emoji JSON and then import those emojis into your instance. However, what you would really want is a built-in method of allowing two instances to sync their emojis. Federation of emojis is probably not the right way to do it, it would have to be an opt-in process two instances do together, with a way to denoting the origin of the emoji for easy removal.
