Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

At hexbear we already have custom star trek emotes and a community for user suggested custom emojis
Maybe you could chime in with how its organized? Ill also hop on over to see how you all do things later today :)
From a short peek at the markdown it looks like a normal picture link. Im not terribly familiar with federation, perhaps this is cause im viewing it from another instance, but i would hope for some kind of :emoji: syntax.
We do have :emoji: syntax, when I start typing after a : I get a popup of matching emojis, or I can pick from a (very long) list. They just show up as pictures for the rest of you due to federation. They're also sized more consistently for users viewing from hexbear but I hear lemmy is going to fix that for everyone soon. Our Emoji Science Officer, or perhaps People's Comissar of Emojis, is @[email protected] she does the emotes.
On Mastodon, the tenforward.social instance where the @[email protected] & @[email protected] have accounts, has its own set of emojis. Some of these seem to have been contributed by users.
It would be great if our leadership here could check in with @[email protected] to see if she would generously share her protocol.
