New account but I’ve been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I’ve been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since 
and everytime it’s an account from another federation. I was tepidly against federation at first but this has been entertaining, like the old days of 
people who wandered into the sub.
I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let’s enjoy it for now.
It takes up my entire screen on Jerboa
That one’s emoticon sized 🐖💩⚽⚽
might be because a lot of the line-drawing emotes are SVG and will scale to any size, while photo-based emotes are PNGs and have a set resolution
That would explain why the LIB emote is enormous too (assuming it’s a vector too)
yeah, that’s gotta be the problem - I pointed out in a lemmygrad thread yesterday that hexbear had a similar problem in the first year or so of the site that specifically affected the hexbear logo emoji when it appeared in the site tagline (it became fucking massive, like 3000x3000)
our beautiful admins might have to rework svg/vector based emojis or even contribute something upstream to have unified resizing

It looks normal on hexbear on either pc or mobile, but this is what other instances see lol.
damn this rules
Yeah, it’s better like this. It should be bigger on hexbear too
Yes, you are on the right track.
What actually happened is, for the migration back to upstream lemmy, our devs developed and contributed the custom emoji feature, so that we could keep them, but since we were uploading them through the UI not baking them into the app when it was built as static assets, they had to go into pictrs (the image backend), which doesn’t support SVGs yet. So as part of our migration we converted all SVG emotes back to PNG (apparently at a pretty substantial resolution).
They render correctly on our side because the UI recognizes that they are a local custom emoji and applies different CSS than we do for other embedded images, but as currently written, there is no simple way to differentiate a federated emoji from any other embedded image, so when federated, our emoji get rendered as just any image, at whatever size the file is. We will likely contribute a fix for this upstream, though resizing all of our emotes to a consistent size would also do the trick, and may be undertaken as a stopgap in the mean time.
