It has been too long since we’ve updated the emoji in Micro.blog. Via @news, added a few new ones that were in the queue, hopefully can do more this year:

Added two new emoji to Discover: 🧘 for meditation and 🎭 for theater. Also added 🏳️‍⚧️ to LGBTQ+ in addition to 🏳️‍🌈.

Are Fediverse fediverse and Indieweb indiewebcamp emoji in?

@tchambers That's interesting… We do load those from Mastodon servers, so I can see both of those in your post on Micro.blog, but I hadn't thought about using them like "real" emoji.

@manton @tchambers Emojos are super awesome and I was long against them until I started using them and realizing that waiting till Unicode consortium standardizes concepts until I can use them is quite silly. So I am very pro emojo now

@liaizon @tchambers I have mixed feelings about them because they don't work anywhere else on the web. And even some native apps like Ivory don't yet support them. Not sure how to solve that but there are definitely trade-offs.

@manton That was exactly what I was suggesting... 👍
