Comment by 🦎 fearghuis

As mentioned in the first comment, I want to keep control over them mostly to avoid potential UI icon conflicts. Many currently unlisted Emoji would probably be fine, though. It would be ideal if all available avatars were distinct enough from each other as well.

Maybe I'll loosen this up in the future...

Given my last name is Moonfire, I'd love for a non-face moon to be made available. Failing that, just fire.

Otherwise, the trigram for fire (which feels like cultural appropriation to me but moon or fire is better than nothing?)

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2023-06-23 at 17:00:

@dmoonfire Bubble v5.1 has some new avatars for you, available now.

🦥 aRubes · 2023-06-25 at 13:21:

👺 xergi · 2023-07-05 at 10:46:

Any chance of getting the goblin/tengu emoji? 👺

📻 solderpunk · 2023-07-09 at 19:24:

How about the radio? 📻

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2023-07-09 at 19:46:

@solderpunk New avatars are now available.

Sorry about the delay @aRubes and @xergi, I've been in vacation mode so I completely forgot your requests. 😅

🚀 lypanov · 2023-07-10 at 07:35:

Yet another reason for me to look into adding support for emoji to AmiGemini

🦂 akrabu · 2023-07-11 at 21:20:

I'd like a scorpion, if possible! 🦂

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2023-07-12 at 05:02:

@akrabu Scorpion is now available.

🐙 norayr · 2023-07-21 at 11:51:

how about octopus 🐙 ? (:

btw it would be great if we were able just to paste/input our emoji character as avatar.

or maybe use a line of emojis to describe ourselves.

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2023-07-21 at 11:54:

@norayr See my earlier comment:

— /u/skyjake/2143

Octopus can be added, sure.

🦉 albeert · 2023-07-26 at 09:24:

How about an owl 🦉? Because owls are not what they seem...

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2023-07-26 at 10:01:

@norayr @albeert Octopus and Owl are now available in Settings.

🐙 norayr · 2023-07-26 at 13:50:

yaaay, i was checking for it every couple of days. ty!

🐙 norayr · 2023-07-26 at 13:51:

i was also thinking about owl. because many of us tend to sleep later than others. (:

🍩 wholesomedonut · 2023-08-18 at 20:31:

I desire the power to be a donut, such as I am, if it is deemed worthy as an emoji to add.

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2023-08-19 at 08:49:

@wholesomedonut The Doughnut avatar has been added.

⛰️ murdock · 2023-08-28 at 12:23:

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2023-11-20 at 08:25:

@truss Both of those are now available.

🍭 nikita · 2023-12-30 at 05:33:

Please add genders ♂ ♀ ⚥ ⚤ ⚣ ⚢ ⚧

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2024-01-11 at 17:42:

@nikita I've given that some thought and I think I prefer that gender symbols are displayed via the flair mechanism. I'm still planning the appropriate implementation for personal flairs, though.

🦝 funbreaker · 2024-03-08 at 20:50:

Please add a raccoon 🦝

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2024-03-09 at 05:50:

@erick Panda Face is now available.

😺 Anebix · 2025-01-28 at 22:03:

Ribbon heart would be nice, 💝

Maybe if artistic symbols like emojis are available, are non-standard characters like 𝄞 (Treble cleff symbol) also allowed?

And I'm curious if in that case, maybe eventually users can simply enter a unicode number like "1D11E"

🪴 mstrmeow · 2025-04-06 at 05:40:

please add 🪴 the potted plant emoji (its my fav)

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2025-04-10 at 08:03:

@Anebix @mstrmeow Heart with Ribbon and Potted Plant have been added.

When it comes to custom/rare characters, I'm not going to allow those at least for the time being. I'd like the user avatars to be a curated set of well-recognizable symbols, mostly Emoji.

🎈 balloon · 2025-06-30 at 06:13:

I want balloon. 🎈

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2025-06-30 at 09:20:

Wow! Thank you!! 🎈😄

☀️ sbr · 2025-07-07 at 20:02:

Bit odd but could the knife be added? 🔪 Love the text render. Started with the name of my log and then I just kinda liked it.

🦴 Bones · 2025-07-23 at 14:03:

If you could add 🦴? That's my favorite emoji

🦔 bsj38381 · 2025-07-31 at 12:32:

I want to change my pfp to a hedgehog/porcupine. 🦔

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2025-08-01 at 04:54:

Bone and Hedgehog are now available. I decided to go with Dagger instead of Knife because the latter could conceivably be related to UI actions.

☀️ sbr · 2025-08-01 at 12:57:

Surely scissors would be the choice for a ui option, eg cut. Getting a dagger when looking for a knife is like getting full cream cow milk when ordering oat milk. A similar product but not at all what is desired. ;-)

💽 fluffpumpkin · 2025-08-23 at 18:41:

Would it be if at all possible to add 💽, the minidisc emoji?

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2025-08-24 at 08:50:

@fluffpumpkin Yes it would, although technically it is a Minidisc emoji. It's available now in Settings.

🚀 pmc · 2025-08-28 at 17:04:

could we get the otter emoji added to the animal section? 🦦

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 2025-08-28 at 17:11:

@pmc No sooner said than done. 🙂 It is now available.

🌬️ Aeolus · 2025-09-08 at 23:16:

🐡 Breebee [...] · 2025-10-06 at 16:43:

i would like to humbly request my favorite and the best emoji, 🐡. blowfishes are the best fish and an integral part of my being so it would be cool to have it as my icon here.

🥬 choy · Nov 19 at 16:14:

Oh, could I perhaps have the nappa cabbage/bok choy icon if possible, please?

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · Nov 19 at 16:35:

@choy I've now added the Leafy Green avatar emoji. I suppose that's the one you wanted?

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · Apr 08 at 05:49:

@Nexy Guitar added, but I'll reserve the lightning bolt for use as a UI icon.

💀 StrokedOut · Apr 16 at 04:03:

Harp 🪉, Splatter 🫟, Beach with Umbrella 🏖️, Treasure Chest 🪎, Hairy Creature 🫈, Unicorn 🦄, Cherry Blossom 🌸, Orca 🫍, Island 🏝️, Seashell 🐚

Forgot the Ogre 👹

💀 StrokedOut · Apr 16 at 04:23:

I just realized that the fire emoji is available even though it is used in the UI.

🌐 globo · Apr 27 at 01:32:

Hello. I use normal 🌐, can you add this?

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · Apr 28 at 03:38:

@globo Added four globe avatars (🌐 plus the geographical ones).

💀 StrokedOut · Apr 29 at 00:08:

I feel ignored.

🌆 skyjake [mod...] · Apr 29 at 03:15:

@Goat If there is a particular Emoji you'd like to use, I'll add it, but the idea here is not to enumerate all the possible choices. The set of avatar icons is supposed to be a curated list.

💀 StrokedOut · Apr 30 at 11:39:

@skyjake I knew this when asking for those emoji. I like choice, and I changed my current avatar a couple of times already. I even changed my username. And these emoji are the ones I would like to change my Avatar into over time, maybe even going with a fitting username. This is *my* curated emoji list, as I don't want to ask and wait for a new emoji, and you probably have better things to do.

Today I feel like Hairy Creature 🫈, with username either Hairy or Harry. Maybe Yeti.

And my current username Goat is a play on a couple of different levels, which are not just textual. I like to keep it fun.

It would be awesome to have more options for the profile icon
