@Matthias sorry for my delayed reply. the large majority of my regular interlocutors are on various Masto instances, with some on Sharkey, so for me to derive full benefit of my desired #FOSSemojis in my Friendica instance/s, ideally each of the emoji codes needs to be the same across those platforms. doing a comparison of

• emojos.in/infosec.space
• emojos.in/blahaj.zone
• emojos.in/friendica.opensocial…

has now shown me that whereas happily some are the same, eg:
:linux: :archlinux: :kde: :firefox: :thunderbird:
:linux: :archlinux: :kde: :firefox: :thunderbird:

unfortunately other important ones are different, eg:
:firefox_nightly: vs :firefoxnightly:
:fedora: vs :linuxfedora:
:opensuse: vs :linuxopensuse:
:debian: vs :linuxdebian:
:firefox_nightly: vs :firefoxnightly:
:fedora: vs :linuxfedora:
:opensuse: vs :linuxopensuse:
:debian: vs :linuxdebian:

and a few are absent in Friendica, though present in the others, eg:
:plasma: :zenbrowser: :floorp:

so, if i lump the "missings" with the "differents", the total number exceeds the "goods". it seems therefore that my desire to have comparable cross-platform FOSSemojis (without me needing to stop to think, each time i go to use some of them, "oh, are these good ones or bad ones?") is just not possible, so i need to abandon the idea.

oh well, thank you all for your help, anyway. 😢

Here's a screenshot of what i now see, in draft / preview format, when i paste my original emoji-suite again, since @Raroun kindly enabled / added

the standard "Smiley Pack Addon" for Friendica

so i can see that yes, some of my desired #FOSSemojis now work, but sadly still most don't. i shall be most interested to see what might happen after this weekend. 🤞 🤞 🤞

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?
