We have both an emoji button that lets us search through them all manually, and a shortcut that auto searches from keywords if we type something following a semicolon
emojis are actually built into base lemmy for the past year or two (contributed by a dev affiliated with hexbear, but still), but they don't federate seamlessly and most instances don't use them much, or at all, so app support also seems to be lacking last I saw.
If you're using lemmy.ml on the web not thru an app, you can still try out the emoji picker/autocomplete, it just only has standard unicode emojis. Try typing :a into the comment box or clicking on the little smiley face in the bar above the box!

Epic, wish we had a similar thing on lemmy.ml, even better yet federated emojis. :biden-our-savior: :99-percent-hitler: :tankie-adjacent:
Federated emojis would simply be too powerful.
I do want :saltine-headassery: and :debate-pervert: from lemmygrad tho...
