Moetwemoji: Lightweight Animated Emojis (AVIF) - Bring your forum to life

So I am using the persistent method:

  1. Add the git clone command in my app.yml file
  2. Entered the container and ran the 2 rake commands
  3. Verified the link “https://“your_domain”/images/emoji/twemoji/hugs.png?v=15” works on my site
  4. Cleared cache, set my cloudflare protection to dev, and so on.
  5. But when I look at the emojis, they’re still pointing to the original path, e.g.: images/emoji/unicode/upside_down_face.png?v=15

What other step(s) am I missing? How do I swap the default emoji to use this one?
