 Only zappers, get out of here and don’t look at this note: 

If I could ask one thing of the nostr client devs, it would be to make the reactions interchangeable. I can’t see the android/amethyst ones and it drives me insane. 

@jb55 @Vitor Pamplona 
 You can't see reactions from Amethyst? Like not even a notification?  
 No unfortunately 
 I just reacted with 😱 on your original post. What do you see?  
 That one works because it’s also on Apple. The custom ones don’t https://i.nostr.build/Eqy0Txhdko7daQrQ.jpg  
 Ohh ok, then it's just about the custom reactions that start with : it does take some time to implement them nicely. :( 
 I figured it would be a bitch to implement, but in case either of you have some extra time on your hands or find a way to do it, you would make this girl pretty happy. 
 Let me find you an example real quick of how they look for me 
 They’re just random symbols and letters for me https://i.nostr.build/BYH8GSlRocJFnJ7a.jpg  
 So you cant see these? https://files.sovbit.host/media/44dc1c2db9c3fbd7bee9257eceb52be3cf8c40baf7b63f46e56b58a131c74f0b/ef991effbf0a976951d6cc3d9021c607ef3d7a1918fa8668ff245e3c0586cfa5.webp 
 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 :)
