Two ways: if you know/have an idea of what the emote is called, type a : and then start typing the name of the emote, which will bring up an autocomplete box. You can select your emote from there or manually finish typing it and end it with another colon, so :doomer: will produce :doomer:. By the way, if you want to see the name of an emote someone else is using, just hover over it with your mouse (or on mobile do a long-press).
The other option is to click the little smiley face under the comment box and then click the ✱ on the upper-right of the box. This will present you with a master list of all the emotes which you can scroll through.
One of the shortcomings of Hexbear compared to our sibling project Lemmy is that we don't have alternative keywords to look up emotes, and some of our emotes have pretty arcane names (see :no-copyright: or :a-guy:). I believe the devs do intend to add this feature in the future, though.
Hi Dilto, 2 main ways, you can either, type a ':' colon character, then without a space, the code for that emoji, then again without a space, a second colon, for example, the smoking man in the beanie in Ulysses' comment is :'doomer': (without the quotation marks).
You can see an emoji's code by mousing over it.
The other way is to click the smiley face that appears at the bottom right of the comment interface, and select your emoji from the menu there.
Oh thicc trump!!! haha... I made a semi weird version of him back in the day when I was particularly obsessed with arguing with people online about him. https://imgur.com/undefined
Oh, For Frank's Sake, I think I copied the link too soon. Please try this one!! https://imgur.com/7Nm8euO this is another one I'm semi proud of https://imgur.com/a3evGYM
Also, if you click the icon on a comment that looks like a sheet of paper with the top right corner folded, it’ll change the comment to show you exactly what to type to recreate it.
For instance, it would change a comment like this with a link to a help page to this:

and you can use this to find the names emojis too. If you’re using this website on a phone you can tap the three dots at the bottom right of a comment to make the paper icon show up.

Have fun! We have lot of great emotes, folks. Many people are saying this. :thicc-trump:
