Samsung’s emoji are bad

Yeah they aren't great. But at least we have the blob using emoji kitchen.

The initial Android Jellybean version of the blobmojis are the only emojis that have ever been good, before or since

Agreed! Blobmoji were the best and I'm totally not bitter at all that Google killed them like so many other great services.

I have just enough care about this topic to post about how I dont care.

They're my favourite emoji flavours, really, besides the blobbies (blobbies are life)

True they are the best plus the turtle through emoji kitchen

That's a quality emoji. All emojis should have a turtle present.

Samsung's Emoji are what I'd imagine would happen if I asked AI to make Apple's emoji's but only with pieces pulled from Google's emoji.

They look pretty damn bad. All around. I'll never understand why they don't at least give up and pay JoyPixels, considering they can't even beat those in quality. 😑

Any good way to use Gboard on the Z Fold? I miss the emoji kitchen but the default Samsung keyboard has support for different layouts depending on if the phone is open or closed (thumb keyboard when it's open and normal when closed) and I need that.

I have no idea. I assume it will have the same features since Google has their own foldable phone now?

Wow, you're right, it works now! It didn't before but yeah they must have added it for the Pixel Fold.

Yeah np, now cook up something good in the emoji kitchen

Beautiful! Btw if you want embed your image in a lemmy post/comment just do explanation point, square brackets then image link in parentheses with no space in-between.

Thank you! I'm on Kbin so I don't think I'll be able to see if it worked or not on your end. Looks like Kbin uses the same image attachment format as Mastodon, but Lemmy doesn't support that part of ActivityPub so I've been trying to figure out a good way to get Lemmy users to see my images. 😔 Editing my comments with a direct link to the image after posting it was the best I could come up with...

That's fine. There is nothing wrong with that.

Edit: I just realized the URL I tried to use for the example does not work since I used your kbin one or something.

Ah I opened the thread in Lemmy and I guess it didn't work, it looks like I just pasted the link again haha

np its fine it should be set up like this. Ik the lemdroid mods were talking about this issue a few weeks ago.

Oh yeah that's what I did, it just doesn't translate from Kbin to Lemmy correctly and just shows up as a link again. Thank you though!

That oneUI 5.0 turtle looks actionable. Look at the legs. It's really obvious they traced the Apple one.

How hard is it for them to use the best turtle. The android turtle.

I'd take this a step further and say they're all bad regardless of who made them, in my opinion. I just do not like them.
