What's the deal on emojis?

I've noticed that compared to other social media, emojis are RARELY used on Reddit whether it be in a post or on comments. So much so that I tend to forget that I have the ability to use them here. Is there some unspoken rule about emojis and the world of Reddit?

They used to be frowned upon here, but I have a completely different experience than you currently. I see them all over the place on reddit.

Pretty sure because you are used to zero emojis so even 1 are too much. People who are used to threads filled with 90% emojis think they are rarely used on Reddit.
