Ello creative people of the Fedi!

I am not handy with creating things. I may be able to learn, but that would take me many spoons and time. And, at the moment, I don't have much of either...

I've been using the Bi verified icon since I joined here. But... I've been exploring genders and my feelings and emotions...

And, I feel very attracted (if that's the right word) to being Autienby. I tried to make an unofficial silly flag for it. But... I'd love it if that flag could be made into a "verified" logo icon, that I could beg my admin to upload so I could use that...

I have *no idea* how hard or easy it will be to crop the flag center into a verified icon and to add the little checkmark . I have no idea if anyone would be willing and able to fix that for me. But... I would be super grateful if anyone would be willing to make this into a verified emoji that I could share with the beige admin.

I don't think *loads* of people will use the icon/emoji if it gets made... But, I know I'll use it for all my accounts...

Fankoos in advance for your time and efforts!!!

OK mastodon, I just yesterday realized how easy it was to make #CustomEmoji here. No longer will I pine after #emoji that my server hasn’t discovered yet… GAME ON. #DeviledEggs #FSM #quob #FlyingSpaghettiMonster #pastafarian

As we are having a case of Mondays, it's an excellent time to introduce some new custom emojis from Office Space - legendary movie from 1999 by Mike Judge

• His epic boss, ye-e-a-ah, Bill Lumbergh:
• Mumbling Milton and his favourite stapler:

Here's some easy Friday reading: a look at custom emoji across the fediverse.

What are your server's favorite custom emoji? Are there any you added or requested to be added yourself?

If you run your own Mastodon server, it's really easy to add your own custom emoji or clone them from other servers. Here's a guide:

The emoji will be available to use by any member of your server. People on other servers will be able to see your custom emoji, but not use them.

Remember to add a shortcode description to emoji to allow blind users to hear what it is.

Admins can also block emoji from other servers if needed.
