Never seen anybody using emoji in any community. I did use once or twice, but the way its absent over here, I’m starting to think its part of some implicit rules lemmy has

You see them sometimes, but they’re only really ever used when they’re needed for something that can’t as easily be expressed with text. I’ve seen many other places where they’re overused, and it just makes things harder to read. I don’t care for that. It’s not a rule to not use them, but it is an implied rule to not overuse them (except in mockery).
Lemmy has a much older user base though. Most of us grew up with emoticons (the text version of emojis) at most. Emojis are used a lot more with people who grew up with smart phones.
