This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

How do I use emojis? :littlefriend:

[–] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Type ":" and the first few letters and you should see a selection pop up. You can also find it in the "*" category in the emoji picker located above post/comment text areas.

I don't think that's a thing in jerboa ):

Emojis on lemmy are just markdown links to images, you can use them by typing ![]( <image file> "emoji <name of the emoji>") copy-pasting an image in the text editor should automatically generate the link, you would just have to add what is between quotation marks.

Exemple:

![joever](https://lemmygrad.ml/pictrs/image/8523e574-047f-4619-a240-a147b1d1e81d.png "emoji joever")

At that point, what's the difference between posting an emoji and a picture?

[–] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 10 months ago

Emojis remove the need to upload multiple images to the server, save you a trip to your image folder, and can easily be used inline as if they are part of a sentence. They also give instances their own flavor.

The way it's used, the way it's displayed. If you take that all the way all emojis everywhere are pictures. It's a sociological difference I think.

doesn't Jerboa have an emoji picker?

[–] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 months ago

If it does then I dunno where it is
