How come I can add emojis to posts from my laptop but not my cellphone or tablet?
You should be able to, I do all the time. Right above the text box is a smiley face, and if you click it you’ll have lots of choices. I also have my iPhone and iPad emojis at the bottom of my screen at all times.

I use android and it's not there. On my laptop if I hit the like button it gives me about 5 choices. Nothing on the cellphone or tablet.
Maybe send a picture

Memphis I'm on Android too, and I agree.

You can insert them manually, however. Yesterday i wanted to add a clap emoji to a post but couldn't find it when on my phone.

Instead i typed : c l a p : without the spaces and got 👏

The smiley face is on my laptop but not the cell or tablet. See the attached photo. Also if I hit the like button on my tablet it shows the blue thumbs up and 4 or 5 emojis that I have used. Only the blue thumbs up appears on the cell and tablet.

I'm pretty bored in my quarantine here. Only 9 more days lol

😫, these are easy to do. But, the other day I was trying to upload a placard meaning explosives when mentioning the Haitian border. (we were joking about mining it) and couldn't do it. Asks for a URL.

Now is easy but in the old forums you would have to type in HTLM in order to post emojis or link a video.

Testing, testing.
Aha.
I get the problem.
It is with the translations from the flag emojis.
Ah well.
Such is life.
I guess this is where we call on the old acronym...K.I.S.S.

Emojis do not always transfer well hence there can be confusion on the true meaning of the emoji.
Clarification can always be asked for in a polite and respectful way.
Wait, wait...this is DR1...maybe that is not possible.

Maybe there should be an update to the code for the site or emojis should be banned for everyone❓
Why are they available if they cannot be used❓

The ones that are available through DR1 aren’t the problem. It’s the ones added from people’s phones or tablets that cause issues. They’re mostly superfluous.
