Hello @Raroun hope you're well. every now & then, when i have joined a different #Friendica instance in the past, i ask this same question of its Owners / Admins. always it's the same negative answer, but i live in hope!

on Masto & Sharkey instances, if the Admins are willing, it is technically possible to add FOSS emojis to the servers. consequently, on many of my instances i've been able to include these in various posts when applicable:

:linux: :archlinux: :kde: :plasma: :zenbrowser: :floorp: :firefox_nightly: :firefox: :thunderbird: :fedora: :opensuse: :debian:

so... is there yet any way that such emojis can be added to your instance, please?

Friendica supports custom emojis from other instances, but we don't support adding new ones per instance. One reason is that there is still an accessibility issue with them, see my issue that I created in the Mastodon repository in 2018: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…

Another reason is that Friendica is able to create posts that also appear on other system (not only ActivityPub). But these custom emojis will only work with ActivityPub and will look ugly on other systems.

😒 😭

so, even though, for instance, the obliging Admins at blahaj.zone & infosec.exchange/space added those ones in my OP for me, it can't now be done for @Raroun to just borrow them from either of those servers?

that's so disappointing. πŸ₯Ί
