Hello everyone. I have made an addon to allow you to pick emojis when outside of hexbear! (Or really, pick emojis from any lemmy instance)

I need an icon for it (I've been using the lemmy icon during development) and I will upload it to Firefox addons once I have that. Please do help me and give suggestions!

Here is the source code: https://git.encryptionin.space/hackerncoder/lemmy-emojies

you are welcome to use this as the icon:

this rules!

It's actually better for it to not be hexbear branded so having it installed doesn't immediately fingerprint your browser as a hexbear user.

As a Midwest.social user, thank you so much for this. Now I just need to figure out emoji names…

Thank you for the icon suggestion. I have gone with it and have submitted the addon for review on AMO.

This is awesome, thank you. I'll get it for FF when it comes out.

Is there any pack or something for whatapp?

[–] Inui@hexbear.net 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Can you not make your own? I don't use WhatsApp, but a lot of other stuff like Delta Chat and Matrix clients let you just import any images as a 'sticker pack'. I once tried to import all the Hexbear emojis at once (like 2000) and crashed everything when I tried to open the menu lol. But they're all here.

Thanks! I'm going to check out what can be done with this!

[–] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I haven’t poked at how feasible this would be, but it’d be cool if it could be bundled as a userscript so that it also works on mobile devices that support script managers.

[–] edie@lemmy.encryptionin.space 5 points 22 hours ago

I did kinda think about it, but I'm not really sure. I could take another look at it though.

Sick! Does it only work for lemmy and stuff like that or could I use it for whatsapp as well?

[–] edie@lemmy.encryptionin.space 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The "input" (where to get the emoji list from) has to be a lemmy instance.

The ouput is markdown, copied to your clipboard. So anywhere that accepts ![]() markdown images will work. Probably not whatsapp.
