Mastodon Custom Emojis are only supported for post content and are not considered as emoji reactions. Display names and message titles (ActivityStreams "name" field) are considered text only fields and embedded images (the mechanism behind custom emojis) are not supported in these locations.
## Mentions and private mentions
## Mentions and hashtags and private mentions
By default the mention format is '@Display Name', but other options are available, such as '@username' and both '@Display Name (username)'. Mentions may also contain an exclamation character, for example '@!Display Name'. This indicates a Direct or private message to 'Display Name' and post addressing/privacy are altered accordingly. All incoming and outgoing content to your stream is re-written to display mentions in your chosen style. This mechanism may need to be adopted by other projects to provide consistency as there are strong feelings on both sides of the debate about which form should be prevalent in the fediverse.

Mentions may also contain an exclamation character, for example '@!Display Name'. This indicates a Direct or private message to 'Display Name' and post addressing/privacy are altered accordingly. Group posts may be triggered by a so-called "bang tag"; for example !groupname. This **only** sends the post to 'groupname', and all other recipients are excluded. This syntax is recommended for private groups for that reason. All incoming and outgoing content to your stream is re-written to display mentions in your chosen style. This mechanism may need to be adopted by other projects to provide consistency as there are strong feelings on both sides of the debate about which form should be prevalent in the fediverse.
Hashtags may contain multiple words with space between them. To create one of these, surround the worlds in double quotes - for instance #"Multiple Word Hashtag". The quotes are removed when viewing. Many, but not all fediverse platforms will display these correctly.
