There, I've preemptively made half the comments in the thread. And I have a rebuttal: THERE ARE NOW TAGS. On each and every one of the 700some Marseys. My hands hurt. But now, for example, you can search like "halloween" to bring up all the Halloween emojis. Or "schismatic" to bring up the Orthodox ones. Or "groomer" and "borpa" and the like for . Or "animated" for all of the animated ones. There are over 700 Marseys to date, but I think I did a pretty fantastic job of accounting for most common descriptors of most of them. Each one has multiple tags - sometimes quite a few - and you can just search a piece of the tag to get the results. So you don't need "pizza" for pizza; just "piz" is fine. Or even just p, though that will bring up every other emoji with "p" in it as well.
NEXT UP, @axolotl had the brilliant idea of adding a LOAD MORE button to long threads. I think it caps at 50 comments now? Or 70? Or 100? I'm not sure what we settled on, I was very tired when we were testing. Anyway, @Aevann built it this morning and it is PHENOMENAL. No more 10+ second loads on huge threads, they should be fairly instantaneous now. It is not retroactive (we can make it retroactive though, but the comparative speeds are fun) but everything is a million times better for future threads. It is now retroactive.
You may need to clear your cache to get the emoji picker updated. I'm not sure. Do it anyway though, it's been too long since you did it last.

The tags are the best single addition to this site I've seen in a long time.
The load more button kinda sucks though, and in large threads it makes it harder for my super funny comments with 1 upmarsey to be seen. Maybe there could be an option for some form of 'infinite scroll' that automatically loads more comments when you scroll near the bottom of the thread?

We can choose how many posts appear on our front page, so I don't see why we can't choose how many comments appear in a post.

Just in the threads, so it can be the same as it was before but more performant. I don't like when things change.
