I think another part of it is reddit's anonymity. Emojis are an effective tool to convey tone to other people. If I'm making a joke or being sarcastic emoji are good at conveying that. Otherwise I'd worry about my comment being misconstrued. While on reddit, that's not much of a concern since everyone is a stranger.
