@FediTips I want to be able to add gifs or gifs however it's pronounced.
️ You can add gifs by attaching a gif file or by posting a link to a gif which gets automatically embedded.
Some apps which have difficulty with gif uploads, but at the very least your server's website should be able to cope with them.

Used to be that we could type : or ; or something, followed by
and the like and the corresponding emoji would come up.I am a touch typist and much prefer that to having to take my hands off the keyboard and muddling around with the mouse.

You can still type emoji on the keyboard by starting with a colon : and then entering a keyword, then selecting the emoji you want with arrow keys. This works for standard emoji and custom emoji.

Pity it doesn't give all emojis with the word in it. Eg. if I type :angry I get
but if I type :cat, I don't get :angrycat.

The more general keywords don't seem to work with custom emoji.
