Just noticed a great Mastodon (web) feature: mouse-over emoticons and you get a popup saying what they are. If you are as emoticon-illiterate as me, you'll find this super-useful.

@IanMoore3000 @dangillmor I just tried that on my android (plain Mastodon app) and it just selected it like it was text

Normally if someone said they were gonna mouse-over my emoticons I might take offense.

@dangillmor About the only one I use frequently is ๐งต (thread) but is v useful given the restricted number of keystrokes we can use in posts

@dangillmor though itโs worth noting emoticons are often used in ways slightly or significantly different from their โdesignedโ meaning |
@dangillmor wow it does that on mobile too if you put finger on them.
