@ChrisIstace I'm a dork, but this is something fun/unique about mastodon that I really like.

Custom emojis on a server. In honour of Justin McElroy's famous ‘brackets’, I made custom emojis for #socialBC from every flag from every local government and first nation that I could find.

like:  #ladysmith

or  #northcowich or  #cvrd

Just start with a colon : then the name and end with a colon :

I usually pair it with the hashtag.

Nerding complete. :)
