For August, it’s time for our biggest monthly emote update yet, a week early!

Normally our monthly updates add 500-1,000 new emotes, but I got bored and added 11,419 new emotes. This more than doubles the emote count on this instance, mostly thanks to the Mutant Standard emote pack with 8,294 emotes (almost as many emotes as what we had in July!)

We now have 160 emote packs in all (141 packs excluding those with under 10 emotes). Our total emote count is 19,688 emotes, excluding six legacy name conflicts from years ago (11,394 emotes excluding Mutant Standard).

Expanded packs:

• Added 28 spinny emotes
• Added 5 drgn emotes
• Added 2 neofox emotes
• Added 2 shitty logos
• Added 2 gayspers from pridemoji/emoji.lgbt
• Added 1205 emotes to yinglets by including ying variants (myno, thio, yinglemon, and yinglime)!

Fixed packs:

I also rebuilt the original neocat, neofox, and drgn packs without any auto-cropping to make emotes line up better, all at 512x512 pixels (still large enough to look good enlarged in MFM but mostly well under 50kb after lossless compression). Proper alignment means you can do this properly:

I ensured all new emotes have unique descriptive names for searchability and non-visual users (except many color variations of part of the shrimp pack, which have number suffixes because I can’t name that many colors! ). They’ve been losslessly compressed, stripped of non-color metadata, and downscaled if necessary. I upscaled some 32x32 pixel packs with simple nearest-neighbor upscaling to preserve the pixelation.
