theres a lemmy fix incoming in the next 0.19 update which will allow frontends to size custom emojis consistently
That's good to hear, I haven't kept up with development in the last few months.
The emojis just got ten feet taller, folks
Jokes aside, I thought this bug was being fixed so our emojis weren't so big on other servers
I didn't read the news, apparently it is being fixed in 0.19.
Aren't some of the offenders vector images? So they'd first need to get converted to a raster format.
The only offenders are vector images. I maintained a strict 120px width limit for emotes, except for SVGs, which got fucked up in the transfer 
Any way you can send all the SVGs to live in a farm upstate and replace them with rasterized copies? Idk how the emoji data is handled exactly but it might be fun to try writing a script that does that, I'm sure there's a Python image library function for rasterizing a vector image.
I didn't think of that, but I don't see why they would need to be converted to raster first. The standard server image conversion tools should be able to take in a vector, if memory serves me.
If anything the images are too small
