(feature request?) emoji pocket including custom server emojis and regular emoji

right now the emoji picker only has text emojis, which is nice, but it'd be great if it had graphical ones too, like on mastodon/misskey.

also my instance has custom emoji too and id love to be able to use them in boost too (it's hard to remember the code since it's a long image tag url).

i don't know if it's even possible to but if it is it'd be nice to have :)

On Android many keyboards have an inbuilt emoji button. E.g. on a Pixel with gboard it's left to the space key.
On Windows you can use [Windows key] + [.] to open the system's generic emoji menu.
Not sure about adding custom emojis though.
- yeah, it was mostly the ones in the star category for the custom ones i was looking for (like the blobcats, etc)
  according to this, they should have added a rest endpoint at /custom_emoji when they added the feature: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2419. i'm not sure if that includes a get endpoint but though mastodon does so i'm not sure if it's similar.

sighhh sorry i can't edit the title but it should be emoji picker not pocket 😔 autocorrect stop being mean
