I used to be able to react to a post with the robot emoji: 🤖

That no longer seems to be an option. Where did the little robot go?

Edit: Solved: the emojis along the top row are tabs which select different groups of emojis. I had thought that they were some kind of "frequently used" list. The robot is in the second tab.

Interesting, thanks.

I see it in the same spot on this instance as well.

Check the second tab, with the smiling face.

Oh those are tabs! I thought it was just a "frequently used" list.

Thanks!

I know there's been some talk about organization for the emoji picker. Ways to group custom emojis, etc.

This could probably be made more intuitive with some kind of hinting that those are tabs. I might take a crack at it!

There are other parts of the UI that have tabs, such as the admin area and on user profiles. Try copying that, see if it fits.

I had the same thought.
