Hello @Raroun hope you're well. every now & then, when i have joined a different #Friendica instance in the past, i ask this same question of its Owners / Admins. always it's the same negative answer, but i live in hope!
on Masto & Sharkey instances, if the Admins are willing, it is technically possible to add FOSS emojis to the servers. consequently, on many of my instances i've been able to include these in various posts when applicable:
:plasma: :zenbrowser: :floorp: :firefox_nightly: 
:fedora: :opensuse: :debian:
so... is there yet any way that such emojis can be added to your instance, please?
cc: @Friendica Support
Here's a screenshot of what i now see, in draft / preview format, when i paste my original emoji-suite again, since @Raroun kindly enabled / added
the standard "Smiley Pack Addon" for Friendica
so i can see that yes, some of my desired #FOSSemojis now work, but sadly still most don't. i shall be most interested to see what might happen after this weekend. 🤞 🤞 🤞
FYI but every one of those :customemojis: has to have the actual PNG or GIF uploaded to YOUR instance for any of them to work.
Until then they're simply not going to work no matter what you do.
They are not universal. Each custom emoji is unique to the instance that has it.
My instance might have :heart: look like this: ♥️But on another instance :heart: might look like this: 💓
@Droppie [opensoc]
You can view the available custom emojis via the link. This will always be a limited selection, in addition to the classic emojis.

There's now free shipping on orders of 70 EUR and over.
I've realized we don't have a lot of time left to ship orders before Christmas, and the sample of the new "Live laugh federate" pin might take a few more days to arrive at my home for product shots, so I've put it up on the shop with the picture the manufacturer took for me. This is the last new product this year.shop.joinmastodon.org/products…

so for YEARS i've thought that google maps just spoke in a really stilted voice for everyone.
turns out it was just because both my and pet's midrange phones were too slow. for basic speech synthesis.
i got a new high end phone today and it just speaks fluently. instead of "in two hundred metres. at the roundabout. take the... first... exit." it's just "in two hundred metres, at the roundabout, take the first exit."
