   The custom emoji implementation in Pleroma is so bad (for admins). I shouldn't have to restart the server just to add some emoji!

     @alex No need to restart, just run Pleroma.Emoji.reload in IEX.

     Great tip, but also an unacceptable UX.

     I described the problems with it here, mainly that it uses the filesystem as a database making it really slow: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox/-/issues/1132#note_1148468923
     
     Also, the idea of "packs" being required is fucked up. Emojis are a global namespace... god please just let me throw an emoji on the server without thinking so hard.

     @alex Shouldn't they get automatically updated anyway when you add them in Admin-FE?

     I was never a fan of the packs or zip files stuff that got jammed into the emoji management

     I never understood the concept of emoji packs. How do you categorize emojis into packs? Like, "racist emojis pack"? And what's the benefit?

     In theory it's supposed to be like how Unicode actually is - emojis are categorized, eg "Nature". Packs also make them more easily shareable.
     
     But it really shouldn't serve as the basis for custom emojis. Emojis are a global bucket, and categorization into "packs" should be an optional thing on top of that.

     @alex Apparently, packs are meant to be shared, but I never cared to try that. Other than that, separating them into packs does make sense from the same UX standpoint as it allows clients to have separate tabs for different emojis with specific theme. Not much of a problem when you can just make a pack named unsorted/stuff/whatever and throw there all emojis not worth making separate pack for.

     @alex @look @mint Also loading sets of emojis onto your server, think like TG sticker packs.

     >making it really slow
     Fun fact, on a low spec machines like mine you can crash not just Pleroma but the whole machine by opening AdminFE and clicking on Emoji tab lmao
