Specifically I'm unable to change my keyboard input language when in the app, emojis don't always work, and there is no way to use hexbear emojis in app.

If there is an app or there that solves these issues I'm all for it

      They load fine for me. Yes I can save em. I just click on em and save them as images I used raccoon and Voyager, they had specific issues.

          No yeah it loads them as images. Other apps bungle it and even garble the comment. Thunder does fine. I don't know about server load.

          I save some emotes that I use from threads I read. Use em later I guess.

          it shouldn't matter if you reupload emojis. The image backend is smart enough to see it's the same image and just add a new link that points to the same file on disk.

          Though they won't get emoji styling applied in the web ui if the image markdown doesn't have the right tag after it, they'll be large, blurred, and hidden behind a Show button

          e.g. ![](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/1ce95a7b-7bbf-4c2d-aeba-8c7a390d2c40.png)

          vs.

          ![](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/1ce95a7b-7bbf-4c2d-aeba-8c7a390d2c40.png "emoji sicko-yes")

          In the process of testing out the above I discovered that you can also do this:

          ![](https://hexbear.net "emoji sicko-yes")

          you don't have to have the emoji URL at all, our UI will retrieve the right image for you. This means you could have an image that appears as one image to people on other instances but a regular emoji to someone browsing from hexbear.net. Devious
