As the title says, is there a way to get our glorious emotes as a sticker pack for messaging apps and if so how?

the emojis themselves are stored at https://github.com/WhyEssEff/hexbear-emotes, updated intermittently and asynchronously. Since I'm all in on maintaining emotes themselves, all efforts for third-party integration are going to have to be taken up by someone else, and I don't mind what you use the repository for emilie-shrug

Is there actually a way to search the database by the tags? Thought about mirroring the emoji but like only for the stuff I personally would use so I would want to filter to, idk, like just the anime emoji for instance.

Excellent idea, the spreading of the top tier emojis here could usher in the new age of memetics, or maybe they will just get assimilated and destroy any radical volition they have

Related: I wish more people used Telegram. It’s a neat app but I literally have nobody to talk to on it.

I justo wish people used anything other than WhatsApp.

I'm thinking of just switching to telegram/signal and telling people to call me if they need me (yeah I know Signal is funded by the CIA, still better than shitsapp)

Keybase looks really cool but again, nobody uses it.

Should I send my latest catfisher your way? They think I'm Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Like not just that I used his picture, I used his name, told them that I was a boxer and have mansions in LA and Vegas and they kept trying to get me on telegram.

I've used it since 2013ish. I use it generally to send files from pc to my phone. Keeping news links in channels. Its handy.

I imported a selection of hexbear emojis into my private matrix homeserver which is bridged with whatsapp, but I have no idea how to create sticker packs

Actual stickers would be cool so I could randomly tag public places with PIGPOOPBALLS qin-shi-huangdi-fireball ukkkraine hexbear-shining gulag
