@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @WeirdWriter@caneandable.social what about emojis in user name?
There are clients that can fill those out, but generally, for best access, try to keep them low, like maybe 2. If there are too many emojies in a username, I, for one, will just mute you for a while or scroll on by because it took 20 minutes to listen to your display name. Like I said, there are clients that filter those out too, but always good to keep in mind, what if someone were reading you Fedi over the phone. Would you want to listen to someone describe 5 emoji? @Stomata @FediTips

Stomata, thanks for bringing this up.
Robert, thanks for your advice on this.
I've added a section about this to the guide in case other people want to know the same thing.

@FediTips @WeirdWriter Nice. I wonder how I can apply this to my creative outlet of writing code. Crafting code has been such fun. Even with rough edges the sense of accomplishment from solving puzzles to the best of my abilities made me happy. Hmm. I imagine that weavers enjoyed their craft before the industrial revolution, and, just as with a lot of coders, it was also their job.
