Bugs and Suggestions

I'd like to second this, i.e. it would be great if arbitrary emojis could be used. Ofc this creates the problem that a huge number of different emojis might be used as reaction to a single message which is hard to display - not in private chats though, since one can't react with more than 1 emoji. A few ideas on that:

1. admins could be limited in the number of emojis that they allow - but not in the choice of emojis.
2. emojis with different skin color values could be grouped.
3. display only the first x emojis that got the most reactions + possibly some kind of "show more" field

the first one would be a server-side limitation. 2+3 could probably be realized largely client-side and can even be combined

You are right. I'd love in my channel to display only yellow, not attention-grabbing reactions. This set, for instance : 💛😁😢😐 Note that the current colour of the ♥️ reaction is too vivid, that's why i'd love 💛 instead. In this case, 💛 serves as a like (👍). Also, 😐 (or ☹️) can serve as a dislike (👎).

After one week into the update, i've become sick of the yellow colour.
This colour is in fact sickening.

I second the idea of a different skin colour. The yellow colour is horrible with a yellow-green background.

That wasn't my point. I rather meant: If it were allowed to react with _any_ emoji, a message might get reactions 🧑, 🧑🏻, 🧑🏼, 🧑🏽, 🧑🏾 and 🧑🏿. My suggestion is now to group those reactions together and display only one of those variants. Which emoji variant to choose for that is another question - personally I would in fact choose the yellow one.

I fully agree! I have seen multiple of these discussions. Everybody seems to miss their
favorite emojis. Instead of arguing about specific emojis, please just
let users use all emojis as reactions: [DELETED] #13240

Admins deleted that one, and told me to list emojis I want. This is a misunderstanding, that card was really distinct, I want to be able to choose from *all* of the emojis. Just like in Signal, Matrix, Slack, Mattermost,... And no need for those over-the-top animations, that's just raising the effort unnecessarily. That's a spontaneous list of additional emojis I like to use:
🤪🤔😬🤡🤯🤨🙃🥳🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
But as I said, every social group has their own favorites, and should be able to use those.

Thank you Telegram for having added more contrast in 8.4.3 (2531). The more blue numerals are better contrasting with the yellow. It solved the “yellow” problem.
