    If you're using a keyboard and accessing Mastodon through your server's website, you can type emoji without having to use the picker.

    Just type a colon : and without any spaces start typing a keyword. It will then present you with five emoji that match the keyword, and you can choose the one you want with the arrow keys.

    For example if you type :sun you will see five different emoji for "sun".

    If the one you want isn't suggested, click on the πŸ™‚ picker icon instead.

                  That method doesn't allow me to choose non-white human emojis. For that I use the Awesome Emoji #Firefox add-on.
