Well, personally, I grew up with more primitive emoticons and usually just eschew including smiles entirely. I'll use them with friends but I tend to communicate more formally in public forums.

Haven't felt the need to use them as often. Emojis and "lol haha" work fine for me.
Voyager has them

Oh my god, I'd never tried tapping this button before.
For some reason emojis just feel out of the place here and reddit. I do use them in private chats and whatnot though
We must change them!
Require them to symbolically emote at least once per post/comment.

I think my Lemmy client does not support emojis, but it supports Lenny faces. Maybe that's why, Lemmy loves Lenny Κ Ν‘Β° ΚΜ― Ν‘Β°Κ
It's a pain with markdown.
Sync for Lemmy has a menu of them to insert into your comments.

Emojis really don't have a use outside of shitpost communities. I very rarely will use them here on Lemmy

In-group signalling. One of the many microhabits you need to acquire in order to fit in with the local culture and nothing more. As usual, people make up reasons to justify why their cultural proclivities are objectively right but these are without exception completely post-hoc.

use your words!
Its just the group we have. I use basic ones sometimes. But I also come from a time before emoji existed.
