At the very least to describe what the various communities are for. There seem to be many “general-purpose” communities and I do not understand the difference between them, and there are also communities that seem to be duplicates of one another, namely /c/hexbear, /c/den, and /c/feedback.

Additionally, I believe having a wiki blurb for common “emoji” would be beneficial. Who is the person in the image? What is their politics? Why is their image immortalized on our platform? What are some of the common usages of the emoji in terms of communicating a message or emotion through shorthand? Often I am faced with comments that I find incomprehensible due to the use of an emoji that I do not understand.

    Honestly there should be a page that just displays the emojis and scroll to find the picture and click for an explanation. It’s really stupid to just ask “who is she?” in reply to an emoji you’ve seen twenty times and never known the context and then like three people come out of the woodwork to yell at you about hentai and you have no idea what the hell is going on.
