 Nope 
 This is unfortunate. I have so many good custom reactions. 😅 
 I want to see them so bad! 
 “Custom reactions” translates to image files which need to be hosted on some server - no different from “posting” an image or video on Nostr.

Are you seeing examples of standard emoji reactions which don’t translate between clients? 
 I’m sorry, I literally have no idea what you just said 
 Do you speak tard by chance? 
 lmfao let me try…

Emoji reactions - can see between clients?  Yes/No

“Custom Image” reactions - can see between clients? Yes/No 
 First one yes

Second one no 

🤷‍♀️ 
 I think there’s your answer.  First one is easy for all client devs to integrate, second is not.

There could be a NIP for custom image reactions, but standard emojis etc will always be easier to support cross-platform/app 
 I totally get that, I was just wondering if it would be possible or worthwhile. To me, it would be worth it, but I ain’t coding 😂 
 Gotcha.  Maybe you already knew and qualified the difference in your OP, pls “tard” me up.

It’s not impossible but probably needs a standard / NIP before clients could consistently consume/didplay those custom reactions.  (This could already exist, no idea) 
 Centralized easy, decentralized hard :)
