    Yeah, each one is an image link. For example, possum-party is

    https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/16a72a38-0fbc-45f3-bf59-dd9e6509f73e.png

    So you can go to the image, copy and paste it into your comment, and use it from your own instance. You won’t have the emoji picker unless you have a hexbear account, but you can bookmark and hold on to your favorites.

      Thanks comrade!

      Now I’m wondering if there’s a unified index of all of these anywhere 🤔

        if you’re on hexbear.net all the comment boxes have an emoji button next to the other formatting options. You can scroll the pop-out box (go past the generic emojis). There’s also a search-by-text, but for the most part you gotta get the name just right or it won’t show.

          misremembering an emote name and getting frustrated is half the fun

        There used to be but the link stopped working. I’m not sure if there’s a new one now deeper-sadness

            It was over the stupidpol people mass downvoting trans posters before the purge and disabling of downvotes so turned out they were right I guess.

      tagging @[email protected]

      Hold up, there’s a little more too it.

      On each post and reply, there is a view source option in the extras menu. This will show you the markdown used to post the emote.

      Three advantages:

      • Includes alt-text (for screen-readers) and title (that name that shows up when you hover over it)
      • Doesn’t waste storage space on your server and our browsers for a hundred different copies of the same image
      • You can save them more easily if you want to build a collection.

    :blob-no:

    but also yes

    if the name is known between colons, it will render on hexbear itself but not elsewhere (or copy picture link to use elsewhere)

    I think you are forced to use the emotes from the instance you use, lemmygrad stole seized some emotes from us but they cant use not our full emote list just the ones they added

      nothing stopping you from manually copying the markdown and using them, but they won’t be as easily browsable from your home instance, no. For federation purposes emoji are just embedded images. (there’s more to it than that, slightly, locally-present custom emojis will render using different CSS so that they aren’t massive, but that currently doesn’t work for federated emojis)
