Blobbee

Blobbee is a set of bee emojis, originally designed to just be pride flag bees but then expanded to become a full set.

Blobbees are licensed CC-BY-NC-SA, and the code in this repository is licensed under the MIT license.

Neofox, Neocat, and BunHD were all created by Volpeon.

Adding to a fedi instance

A .zip file containing 256x256px PNGs of each emoji is available on the releases page. The simplest (but most tedious) way to add the emojis to an instance is to download that archive, extract it, and upload the emojis you want.

Mastodon and glitch-soc

Note: this method requires command line access to the instance. If you don't have that, unfortunately you will need to add each emoji manually.

Using Mastodon's tootctl CLI lets you import the entire set at once from the command line.

If you trust random shell commands from the internet, run this from your instance's live directory:

wget https://github.com/olivvybee/blobbee/releases/latest/download/blobbee.tar.gz
RAILS_ENV=production bin/tootctl emoji import --category blobbee ./blobbee.tar.gz

Otherwise:

1. Download the latest blobbee.tar.gz archive.
2. Run tootctl emoji import on the archive you downloaded.

Misskey and its many forks (firefish, iceshrimp, sharkey, etc)

The PNG archive includes a meta.json that these instances can use to import the entire archive at once.

1. Download the latest blobbee.zip archive.
2. In the custom emoji area of your instance, import the .zip.

The emojis will be categorised into blobbee, neofox, and neocat categories automatically.

Pleroma and akkoma

Run the following command:

mix pleroma.emoji get-packs blobbee -m https://github.com/olivvybee/blobbee/releases/latest/download/manifest.json
