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

I don't really feel the need to use them to express myself. I try to use words instead :-)

I use a phone and the more complicated emojis are harder to use 🤷

We must change them!

Require them to symbolically emote at least once per post/comment.

How much of the current lemmy base are ex-reddit? I remember emoticons being heavily frowned upon there. It may be a cultural hangover from the rexodus peeps.
