:emote-code: reference or knowledge is required in every one I've tried. I just use the web client.
Raccoon 1.12.0, Eternity 0.1.2, Thunder 0.4.0
Voyager 2.12.4 latest doesn't list any """tankie""" instances seemingly, probably some way to get do it but meh
re:voyager
Hexbear is hidden from their list of instances you can pick to sign up for, and it shepherds you into lemmy.world by default but if you click "Log In" at the bottom of the welcome page rather than "join lemmy.world or pick another server", you can type in hexbear.net manually and log in.
Jerboa would probably take a PR to add an emote picker, but I guess we're the only ones who make heavy use of the feature
I'm using lemmy, it has gotten more tedious to log into hexbear.net but it works. Theyre just not listen in the recommendations.
just typical of the hexbearien PMC to refuse to eat the bugs SMDH
Me eating the bugs
CW bug on stick
afaik the only way to do hexbear stickers is by inputting the colon code, which has to be known or looked up elsewhere, and then the stickers only display through hexbear ui and not for other ui
If you input the colon code in the Hexbear web UI it should automatically be replaced with an embedded image which is visible from all instances/apps. However, if you literally just include the text, then yes, it will only display on Hexbear. I think that's mostly a legacy feature, since without it all the pre-federation emotes (which worked by replacing the text in comments/posts with images) wouldn't display, so if you want to make sure that everyone can see your emotes try to used the modern embedded images when possible!
In the context of this post though, ze's talking about using our emotes/stickers on lemmy apps, which don't support emotes
I use thunder. Its the only one that shows emotes properly. And you can save them. Its the most solid app I have used (trust me I tried em all, they all bungle the emojis except thunder).
I just use the hex ear website and it’s really not that bad
First lemmy client i used was Voyager, i switched to Jerboa because it's way better. I would love to see them expand the search engine like when you use lemmy on your computer browser.
