- Animats 10y agoUbuntu needs fonts with more emoji to display this.
- heinrich5991 10y agoFirefox ships with emojis to fix this. :)
- Retr0spectrum 10y agoHere's a screenshot from Firefox 50: http://i.cubeupload.com/zlLL8X.png http://i.cubeupload.com/zlLL8X.png
- epidemian 10y agoThis article has quite extensive info about emoji support on Linux: http://probablement.net/txt/emojilinux http://probablement.net/txt/emojilinux TL;DR: follow these instructions and you'll get decent emoji support system-wide (albeit black-and-white outside Firefox): https://github.com/eosrei/emojione-color-font#install-on-linux https://github.com/eosrei/emojione-color-font#install-on-lin...
- Jaruzel 10y agoI've been looking for something like this for ages- thanks! However... it needs python on windows, which for complicated reasons I can;t do on this machine... is there a font merger thing that doesn't need python ?

- rory096 10y ago>NatureIsFuckingLit: 0.0% Something's up here. That subreddit requires users to post emojis. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/natureisfuckinglit/wiki/rules https://www.reddit.com/r/natureisfuckinglit/wiki/rules
- dylz 10y ago10.0.4.15:6379> get "total_comments:NatureIsFuckingLit" "57" is what I get in terms of all comments made, weirdly enough - was it (heavily) active in Oct?
- TacticalTable 10y agoIt was created VERY late into October
- turtlebits 10y agoIn the title only.
- minimaxir 10y agoCorrect. The data used in the OP is only the Oct 2016 comments, which explains the discrepancy.
- Mao_Zedang 10y ago6.28% of /r/the_donald use the racist frog, no surprise there. /s
- geowwy 10y agoThes most interesting part of this is the skin tone emojis. /r/gaming is a pretty diverse community apparently
- wingerlang 10y agoHow do you think they are used? Is there some statistics about it? The few times I do use it, I just pick some random color with no thought put into it.
- adiabatty 10y agoIt's super important to some people, but I go for the default unnatural skin tone these days.
- systik 10y agoMember Emoji Analysis?
- skiman10 10y agoI 'member!
- chrismcb 10y agoWhat is considered an emoji for this experiment?
- dylz 10y agohttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/mathiasbynens/emoji-regex/master/index.js https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mathiasbynens/emoji-regex/... I think most of them should be caught by it if not all, at least the new skintone-stacking ones worked.
- skeletonjelly 10y agoSweet. A web page 66961 pixels high. OP maybe you could put some content behind a dropdown selector or something?
- dylz 10y agoThanks for the feedback, sorry about making mobile devices sad. Do you mean something like having an input box to type in a subreddit or emoji to search for, or something?
- skeletonjelly 10y agoSorry forgot to reply. Yeah something like a select input to only display a single subreddit's stats. I think I'm in the minority so not worth changing!
- runnr_az 10y agoThat's really interesting. I've been struggling with how to choose example emojis for my emoji domain registration engine https://xn--qeiaa.ws/ https://xn--qeiaa.ws/. I was working from an older article on Twitter emoji popularity from 538, but this is something I'll definitely dig into. Thanks!
- gkya 10y agoI detest this punycode thing and all this unicode domain name thing too. They're difficult to input, and when they are not, they are some random xn--qeiaa which does not mean anything and makes me fear clicking. Why would anybody with a sane mind would use an incomprehensible and untypeable domain is beyond me, given also all languages today have a latinisation of some sort, and most languages use latin alphabet anyways. And WRT emoji domains, well, that is a joke.
- runnr_az 10y agoFair enough... I mean, emoji domains are not for everyone, right? And, of course, there are all kinds of totally valid concerns about unicode domains in general. I would call it an idea at the beginning of its lifecycle. I guess the question is... since it's supported in iOS, is that enough to kickstart interest, which will then pull in the other browsers? That said, a lot of people are using emojis every day in their communication... seems pretty normal that they'd use them in domains as well, right?
- gkya 10y ago«a lot of people are using emojis every day in their communication... seems pretty normal that they'd use them in domains as well, right?» Many use memes and photos in their communication daily too, so should we have picture domains? www.[some bitmap in base64].com? This unicode domains come with many hazards (phishing, domain hacking, different characters w/ identical form) and inconveniencies (input, blind people not seeing the emoji) and are provided just for the ohs and wows without any concrete benefit to balance these problems.

- iagooar 10y agoLooking at the differences of emoji "styles" across different platforms / systems, I wonder how many misunderstandings happen every day because of this. It's clear that a lot of times, people (me included), rely on very tiny details of an emoji to express our emotions accurately - this is lost by a huge margin once you have different interpretations of the same emoji. Heck, even when Apple changed the look & feel of the emoji on iOS >=10, I had a hard time using some of them, because they would not express precisely the same emotion / meaning that they used to do.
- dan1234 10y agoInteresting that the most used emojis are generally positive, regardless of the sub.
