Final thoughts

For a free social media platform, Discord has a lot of useful features, with custom emojis just one of many. Emoji can play a huge part in what makes your server special and stand out from the rest.If your server is based around a particular game, think about creating custom emojis based on characters or familiar icons you’re likely to find in that game. Plenty of Discord users also commission artists online to create custom emojis specifically for their servers.However, remember there are limitations to using custom emojis unless you have Discord Nitro, Discord’s premium paid membership service.

Having Discord Nitro will enable you to have an additional 50 custom emoji slots on your server, the use of animated custom emojis, and the ability to use custom emojis in any server, not just the ones for which they were created.Whether you use the built-in emojis or create custom emojis, simply have fun making your server unique to you, your friends, and its other members.
