Reading comments in different communities, I noticed that users hardly leave smilies. Why is that?

      I still test out messaging apps by using this fella

      (_/)

      (0.0)

      (> <)

      I’d be interested to see which ones you have on that file

      Edit: Lemmy apparently doesn’t like the rabbit’s formatting

        It should format properly if you use a code block. This is the bunny I always used to use

          (\ /)

        either escape the backslash or embed the whole thing in a code block

        (\_/)
        (0.0)
        (> &lt;)
        

        and Markdown insists on breaking anything with a less-than character (considering the preview shows correctly but then you hit “Save”) …

        Oh the file itself turned out to be garbage because it was a text file. So it was terrible at preserving spacing and all that. I can upload it when I get home if you want nostalgia more than usability lol I probably used it for a month out of stubbornness before just finding a website that hosts emoticons.

        The rabbit’s left ear looks like it should be a backslash (\_/)

        Backslash is an escape character used in formatting, so if you want to actually display a backslash you need to use two (\\_/)

      Nostalgia. I had a set of kaomoji stored in a text file.
