this is a minor, super low-priority request!

I like using the built-in beemojis. On desktop, they are easy-to-use and they show up in-line like any other emoji. However, on mobile, the beemojis are impossible to access, and when i see them in comments, they expand to their actual size:

Now, the access to the beemojis may be specific to my lemmy app (Sync), so that might be an unsolvable problem. But the sizing issue seems like it is related to the way beehaw implements the custom emojis, so I am wondering if that is a quick fix. It seems like they are just a set of image files stored on the server, and so using the emojis is just pasting a link to one of these image files. Is there a way for beehaw admin to set like a "max width" or something that might make the beemojis look better on mobile?

I'm ambivalent about Sync, but before the server upgrade, it was one of the only games in town still supporting the 0.18.4 we were on. Now that we're up to 0.19.11, I'm certainly considering other clients, and while that may solve your issue, I know one likes shopping around.

good to know. thanks Chris! I'll explore alternatives on Android. As Pete pointed out, Sync might not be the best Lemmy Android app anymore, so I am overdue for an upgrade.

Probably your best bet and you're welcome.

Out of curiosity, which Lemmy app did you decide to switch to?

So far have not found a new one. Tried boost, and it has the same issue. But I still have a few more to try!

Edit: Voyager for Lemmy seems to fix this issue, so I think that is what I am going with.

I've heard good things about Voyager.
