I use them on discord on sometimes on othef chat platforms. I don't really like them in longer form text like lemmy or reddit.

They also, at least for me, carry context that doesn't make that much sense outside one community. For example I used laughing cat emoji that we use to signify being amused and a guy from a different community thought I was mocking him.
