This would be nice. Instead of a ... for more options use the same icon as for chat. . And also have a setting for banned reactions so emojis that can be considered toxic are unable to be used.
However complexity will probably be around {{emoji-picker}}, might be the right time to move it from something we pull in various components, to something which is globally available. We would need to have it in body (mostly empty until first use) and use this one instance in every cases. Position would need to happen through popper most likely. I would recommend we do this task first, it will make this easier and also improve things in chat.
Now Retort is being retired, would it also be in scope for this feature to allow multiple emoji Reactions for a post too, in a similar way we have them for Chat messages?
It is certainly a different request. The UI for discoruse_reaction is designed around βsingleβ reaction. It would need a major revamp to support multi reaction mode.
I would extend this feature request to also allow selecting from all available emojis (as stated here in the original topic post). I am looking for emoji reaction capability in the mold of Discord which Retort has offered for years. If Retort were to break since entering EOL, it would be a major blow to my userbase.
