Seemed like emojis in posts / comments would get downvoted to oblivion on Reddit. I don’t see the same thing on Kbin (or other instances / services).
👍
honestly the only one i use is 😳
😬 Is a fun one. Or if someone’s doing something sketchy / kinda nonsensical but I don’t plan on intervening, I’ll go with 👀 🍵 or 💅
I’m in the “Use em if you wanna as they can easily accentuate points you try to make, and can help with understanding tone, but if you put more than like…3-4 max in 1 comment you should probably rethink your life” camp.
Agree… or the comments that are solely emoji. Unless it’s meme I’d rather see actual thoughts in text format.

I’ve violated my own rule like 5 times in the past two days. 👀 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I am fine with them, especially since they can be used to indicate the tone of a comment that would otherwise be difficult to discern. However, when you do that every other word as emoji thing (like the various copypasta that go around) or you put hand claps after every word, then I will hate you for the rest of my life and haunt you from the grave.
Judging by the comments it looks like all the extreme emoji haters are the toxic people who refuse to leave Reddit. I love that for the most part the people that left Reddit and are active in Kbin/Lemmy aren’t the super toxic ones that frequented Reddit, it’s really a breath of fresh air
Same! I lurked a lot on Reddit because even trivial comments felt like they’d get picked at (or more often just not result in additional conversation). Here I feel much more comfortable typing and not second guessing. Feels good.
Only if they’re OG emoticons. Get those emojis off my lawn. /oldman
:-)
I personally dislike them, but do what makes you feel good
I’d like to see more lenny faces (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)
Perhaps you’d like my Easy Emoticon script?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
lenny faces for lemmy!
I made a friend recently who likes to use the plant emoji. It’s really sweet and refreshing, and it feels calming somehow. She’s very nice to me 🌱
