Maybe I’m missing something by using TapaTalk? But I see stuff like

or

and I don’t quite get it. Is that supposed to mean something or take the place of an emoji?

Lol means laughing out load
Ffs means for fuck sake
PMSL means pissing myself laughing.
You can use these and others or emojis. It’s down to preference.

Haha, I know what LOL mean and the like. In Tapatalk, it doesn’t show all emojis when posted in the forum. See Aircat’s post and compare that with what I’m seeing and my initial post will make sense.
What I see using Tapatalk for iPhone:
What others see (likely through the web forum or possibly Android vs iPhone):

Might be to do with the emojis that apple use and tapatalk use aren’t compatible IOS and android devises mixing with each other. Weird I know.

That’s what I suspect. I see some emojis, but probably from other iPhone users. I didn’t use to see the :word: thing before. It started maybe a few months ago. Regardless, mystery solved!
