also can someone who can code please add the search bar back to the site it's such a pain to scroll through all of the emojis manually

totally agree, it's been quite annoying trying to find certain emojis on the list because the unicode categories are different from most implementations. did you know that the hourglass emojis are in the “travel and places” section??

i can try and play around with adding a search feature to the list—no promises, i have very little idea what i'm doing, but i do want to at least try
edit: ok maybe never mind, i have absolutely no clue what i'm looking at here. my knowledge of typescript and react is nearly nonexistent and i don't understand the source code well enough to start making changes to it

a few more tweaks to some of my old emojis

hourglass done/not done: redrew these to be slightly narrower and improve the colours

dotted line face: added a partially transparent background to make the eyes and mouth more visible in dark mode

smiling/angry face with horns: redid the colours completely, the old one just didn't look very good imo

nauseated face: redid the colours here as well, although this one wasn't as bad

We'll have to update for this one. This emoji was added in Emoji 15.1, but Forumoji currently only supports 15.0.
I'll try and make a pull request about this.

Could the website maybe not use Twemoji for emoji that are not created yet? It adds a lot of images the site has to load, which makes it pretty much unusably slow to load the actual emojis I want to use for me.

I've opened a pull request to update to Emoji 16.0. All the hard work is done; all that's left now is to merge the changes and rebuild the website from source.

Perhaps a toggle to show/hide missing emoji would help with this. Non-existent emoji are hidden by default, and won't load unless you enable them manually.

That's awesome! Although, what happened to switching over to google noto emojis?

I could easily write a function to transform the codepoints.

I might also be able to do it depending on stuff.

I really like this idea!

I have a working prototype on my GitHub, but I wasn't sure we had reached a clear consensus about whether to switch or not.
Even if we were to switch, it wouldn't solve the problem of having to load hundreds of external images. We'd still need a toggle to fix that.

My prototype has a function like this implemented, although I'm not 100% sure that it works in all situations.

The issue is that a lot of emojis have a trailing U+FE0F to indicate that the emoji should be displayed in colour. Forumoji drops these for most emojis that have them, but not all of them, so it's difficult to write a function that will correctly translate every codepoint to a Noto asset.

As far as I know, all of the emojis for which this would be problematic have already been contributed, so a placeholder isn't needed anyway.

ok… well… i sorta figured something out?

forumoji has a list of hidden emojis—that is, emojis that should never appear in the list.
when the list is loading, the website checks if an emoji's codepoint is in the blacklist, and if it is, the “hidden” flag is set for that emoji, meaning it won't appear.

if i change the code to force the “hidden” flag for any emoji with a keyword containing a specific string, the list will display only emojis with matching keywords—and, as a bonus, it will also automatically hide categories that don't return anything.

i still have to make sure this method is actually viable (i.e. not too inefficient), and then there's the matter of trying to create a UI for it, but this is promising!

Some of these were already made, but the forumoji website is currently outdated
There's a list of emojis to be added at https://github.com/cocoelacanth/fmji-waitlist
