Never seen anybody using emoji in any community. I did use once or twice, but the way its absent over here, I’m starting to think its part of some implicit rules lemmy has

    I’ve been conditioned over time to not use them on internet forums but I use them a lot when texting. So it feels kind of weird to see one around on a Lemmy comment but I don’t hate them

      For me it’s part of non-verbal communication and empathy when used to add context to what you’re trying to communicate. But I don’t use it online either… I think it’s because some forums don’t enable them or it’s not practical if you’re on a desktop per example. Maybe that’s why the Internet is so miserable 😅
