Good morning Fedi friends!

I've got an etiquette question for you.

I'm in the process of setting up my self-hosted instance. I'm excited about the idea of using custom .

I read @stefan's post on this topic (stefanbohacek.com/blog/custom-), looked up custom emojis from several instances and saved a bunch (see screenshot).

My question: is it ok to copy custom emojis from other instances and use them on your own? (There doesn't seem to be attribution for it)

makes uploading and organizing custom so easy. Here is what I have so far 🤗

I've been having way too much fun adding custom emojis to my instance.

And @cybertailor deserves a trophy for answering my question from earlier today, namely: how do you credit custom emoji creators?

The Pleroma custom repo has attributions for hundreds (maybe thousands) of custom emojis. Wow! On this page you can find the artist/creator behind so many of them (organized by topic):

🔗 : git.envs.net/envs/pleroma-cust

envs.net - giteapleroma-custompleroma-custom
EloPup

@_elena @cybertailor What I’m kinda missing - at least on the official Mastodon Instance - is a Plushtodon emoji. Or some other distinctly recognizable Emoji for Mastodon.
I think this could also strengthen the brand and increase recognition value etc… 🤷🏻
It definitely would be unique.

Great findings with regard to crediting emoji creators! 👍🏻
