Congrats ! One way to incentives donation would be an award system like on reddit between instances and maybe custom emojis like on discord/youtube to be used inside the community.
You mean the gold chests and the pirate ? They're show as pictures (take the whole screen width and on top of each other) in liftoff. Will try on the other apps and report.
I tried on wefwef, control and jerboa. In All of them, the emotes are way too big (consided as pictures ) in jerboa they're small enough for the gold chests to appear next to each others but still way bigger than an emoji (if it's the supposed size). So it must be a phone thing.
How are they supposed to look ?
