How hard would it be to implement an emoji reaction system (like Telegram) instead of Up or Downvotes? (lemmy.ml)

I recently read a funny comment and wanted to give it the 😂 reaction like I would on a Telegram post, but upvoted instead. Reddit had upvoting downvoting but wondering if Lemmy, being an open source innovative software, should evolve past the upvote downvote and allow for a wide range of emoji reactions to a post.

I use it on Firefish (calckey) and Discord, so I don't mind, but I remember reddit being anti-emoji.
