If you're using a keyboard and accessing Mastodon through your server's website, you can type emoji without having to use the picker.
Just type a colon : and without any spaces start typing a keyword. It will then present you with five emoji that match the keyword, and you can choose the one you want with the arrow keys.
For example if you type :sun you will see five different emoji for "sun".
If the one you want isn't suggested, click on the
picker icon instead.@FediTips Not all Mastodon instances include custom emoji like :sun or :heart, so the autocomplete suggestions can vary depending on where your account is hosted

It should also be showing the standard emoji if you're searching for keywords that match them?
But yeah it will vary depending on what selection of emoji you have on your server

Did something change in the past 24 hours? I've noticed tonight that what should be green tiles in my game results show up as empty white squares (against a dark theme background) when I paste them into a post but show up correctly once I post. (I don't know if this happened last night and I just didn't notice.)

There hasn't been any update to Mastodon's core software in last 24 hours but maybe your device or device app has changed?

Hasn't been able to update either the system software or Firefox for quite some time.Maybe I was distracted by the partial success yesterday.

If the browser and system are out of date that could be causing problems too I guess?
Might be worth checking how your account behaves on a system with up to date system and browser?
