    i really hate the lack of emotes, limited emojis, and things like posting links and photos doesn’t work for us nearly as well as discord, with the links often not loading, or the images coming in rotated.

    it works, but it feels like an afterthought, which i guess it is.

      Lack of emotes/emojis, broken links and rotated pictures? I have never experienced anything remotely similar on Steam or Matrix. Is it a .gif search bar or stickers what you might be missing?

        On steam, not matrix.

        I just don’t see any emojis or gifs via steam chat, other than their own ones you need to buy from their store.

          Yeah. I’ve got more than enough of those on Steam for free, but that’s mostly because of interacting with it’s community events or playing games there. You should still be able to use regular emojis from your keyboard too (using hotkeys or copying and pasting them from elsewhere).

            fair enough, i could search for them… just feels a lot more akward then most other ways, when they are integrated into the keyboard or chat. even here on Lemmy, there is an emoji button!
