the emoji situation
Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2025 4:56 pm
I've made a script to automatically generate phpBB smiley packs from fedi emoji packs and imported all the neocat emojis using it.
As you can see, it's quite an unorganized mess right now, even after installing an extension to add a scroll box. phpBB isn't really designed for a lot of smileys.
Ideally we'd have tabs for the smiilies sorting them by category, as well as a search bar. But every extension that adds something like this seems to be out of date and unmaintained.
If possible I'd like to import other neomojis (foxes, dogs, bots, possum etc.) and also whatever other packs people want, but it's already hard to find what you want with just one neomoji pack installed.
Is there any solution to this problem? Do I have to make an extension myself?
Do yall care about having lots of different emojis?
