I suggest the above format over links.
Why is it preferable?
Clickability.
Weird, the one I typed is clickable, too. Is that just a quirk of the standard web interface that my server is using? Though I see that it also changes the link so you're still using your own instance when you're visiting the link, which would be enough to make it preferable.
yes that is weird. Voyager vs lemmy-web feature set apparently
It allows other instances to click your link without leaving their instance.
Formatting it like they did allows people to click through while staying on their home instance.
Germans enjoy humour, but smiling isn’t as efficient as laughing on the inside.
Huh. Using them from now on Ü
The real answer is that using a non-standardized Strichgesicht is against the rules.

I CAN'T LITERALLY PICTURE ANY FACES LET ALONE ONES I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. ALSO, WHY ARE WE YELLING?!
I DONT KNOW, BUT IM GOING TO CONTINUE TO YELL BCZ NOW ITS FUN.
I was a new grad student at a gathering organized to introduce us to the department, and I was drinking a hard lemonade. The department head walked up to me and said, with a strong German accent:
In Germany, zat would be illegal.
I thought she was just giving me a hard time about drinking the lemonade rather than a real beer, but then I looked it up and the lemonade would in fact have been illegal in Germany. (Or rather it would have been illegal when she was growing up there. It was legalized since then.)
in all seriousness, it’s likely because the origin of the emoticon is tied in with the ASCII character set, and the codes available when the emoticon was conceived. emoticons were around for decades, before we started using them on phones.
in fact, “smilies” are indeed not German!!!
