Mildly interested in the custom emoji but with them not working at all on old reddit (example comment on old[1] and new[2]) and instead showing as a number which isn't screen reader friendly either it's just going to confuse a lot of users for us.

Ideally we'd love something like our comment face system[3] that works everywhere without needing CSS but custom emoji are a bit too limited there in both quantity and individual size.

The weird part is the default comment emojis do show up on old. It’s only the custom one that don’t.

Also, they should really let us upload them with names like we can give flair emojis. Then it wouldn’t be random numbers and be something more readable for screen readers and for when you hover over it

I think you should abandon any hope that theyre going to add any new features to old reddit. It's basically on maintenance mode

Very excited about the custom emojis, I've been requesting this since the redesign started! /u/pl00h, how do we go about requesting this for our sub?
