I love the increase in subreddit emojis, but it would be great if we could also get the subreddit flair templates increased along w/ css images.
We use the 3 in tandem on /r/Fortnite, /r/FortniteBR, /r/FortniteMobile, and /r/FortniteCreative for our flair system. We've had a "never ending" battle trying to get all the flair icons in the CSS, and every solution is just a band-aid that eventually tears off.
Our current system makes use of a bot that assigns the flairs; because we don't have enough templates for all 1k+ outfits in the game.
Our current system uses multiple sprite sheets, because one sheet would be far too big to try and fit within the limitations of 500kb. However, we are limited to 50(?) images in the subreddit, so we will have to start combining sheets or other assets at some point in time..
It would be nice if the CSS side of old reddit wasn't set on restrictions that made sense in the 90s, as we can make do without the templates.
Edit: Alternative solution: Allow us to use the emojis that we add on new.reddit.com to be used/visible on old.reddit.com - as it stands, they all get filtered out. If they were implemented in the same way they are in new reddit (for user and post flairs) we could use WAY LESS css for the exact same result. It would remove tons of images from our CSS, and it would even create less work for us after the initial move.

Yes! This would be incredibly useful for both sides of the fence: Less band-aid hacks needed by moderators, with a consistent experience between subreddits for users as a result.
