Why do Lemmy users rarely use emoticons?
Why do Lemmy users rarely use emoticons?
Reading comments in different communities, I noticed that users hardly leave smilies. Why is that?

Its just the group we have. I use basic ones sometimes. But I also come from a time before emoji existed.
I still call them emoticons on occasion
I still have my emoticon copy/paste text file from the ancient times.
I still test out messaging apps by using this fella

I'd be interested to see which ones you have on that file
Edit: Lemmy apparently doesn't like the rabbit's formatting
It should format properly if you use a code block. This is the bunny I always used to use
(\ /) (^.^ ) (")(")oeither escape the backslash or embed the whole thing in a code block
(\_/) (0.0) (> <)and Markdown insists on breaking anything with a less-than character (considering the preview shows correctly but then you hit “Save”) …
You can escape formatting by adding a backslash in front.
this is a quote

Oh the file itself turned out to be garbage because it was a text file. So it was terrible at preserving spacing and all that. I can upload it when I get home if you want nostalgia more than usability lol I probably used it for a month out of stubbornness before just finding a website that hosts emoticons.
The rabbit's left ear looks like it should be a backslash (\_/)
Backslash is an escape character used in formatting, so if you want to actually display a backslash you need to use two (\\_/)
Nostalgia. I had a set of kaomoji stored in a text file.
Unfortunately I have made myself a liar. I must have deleted it a while back.
