What's the mob policy on Emojis here on the fediverse? (sh.itjust.works)

Like a lot of people here, I'm coming from the rexodus and I was just wondering if we still have to lynch people using emojis in their comments?

Just trying to build my personality to fit this new community! Don't mind explaining why, a yes or no will be enough, I'm not capable of any thoughts process anyway

thanks in advance for the answer.

Unrelated noob question, on my end I see your full user: @Barbarian@sh.itjust.works We're on different instances, fine.
But there's other people from sh.itjust.works in this thread and it only shows the first half of their handle, like Jakylla and Bernie Ecclestoned.

My guess is they have a display name setup and you don't?

Yup! That's exactly what's happening. I intentionally haven't set one up, because gotta rep my home instance :P

Makes sense.
I even have an account on yours already and is actually the first one I made.
Choosing an instance has been the most awkward part yet. More easily accessible info on instances' admins, hosting situation, funding, etc. might help.

My first visit was very confusing because I tried browsing a community that had just defederated us, which really isn't too obvious as a noob. I registered on lemm.ee to see what beehaw was even about, and I'm going back and forth between the two homes trying to choose.

I very much like the /c/agora idea on sh.itjust.works so I'm definitely sticking around.
I think an important part is getting to know your instance's admin as a person, and I haven't really taken the time to do that.
See ya around

Completely agree. Funding and hosting situation are still very much in flux for most instances, and most instances are so new that admins haven't really had the time to figure out exactly how they want to run and organise things yet. Everything is very much in flux.

These are problems I think will go away naturally as things stabilize and clearer community identities, fundraising methods and organizational norms start forming.
