cb activity: is there a possibility to add emotes in comments/answers?

I like the new cb activity. Great work.

is there a possibility to add emotes in comments/answers? It seems not. Could this be added as new feature?

Is this true: emotes icons are only added, when I write something? Without writing there's no emote icon visible?

Yes, use :EMOTE: to insert them. A button is planned to be added to make inserting easier.

Don't understand the question. Emotes are inserting using standard :EMOTE: format. A button to help with inserting emotes is planned.

Good news! Thanks

I try to illustrate with image. one is with text and Emote, the other without text but with emote (then emote is not showed!)
EDIT: adding image before posting with smiley. Without a word like "good" there's no Emote.

You can't make a status post without a message. The action feature also will not store unless a message is supplied. It's intentionally designed this way with no plans to change it, sorry. There however is plans to add validation to it so it's more obvious what is required.
