maybe i know more linux people here that'd know how to help:

I've noticed that emoji are completely invisible, anywhere (except Discord, which I assume does its own thing entirely). No matter whether I try to paste one myself (from e.g. Emojipedia) or read messages containing them, they just cannot be seen, not even with the "tofu" block. I'm running Linux Mint 22.3 with Cinnamon.

fonts-noto-color-emoji and fonts-emojione are both installed through apt.
