Feature Request: convert 🤘 to + for ActivityPub messages

[Sjors]

The Mostr bridge converts + to Like, while everything else is converted to EmojiReact. The latter isn't supported by Mastodon, so it gets dropped on the floor.

It seems preferable to convert the default emoji for compatibility.

Perhaps to also disable custom emojis.

Downside is that some ActivityPub systems, not Mastodon, do support EmojiReact. Nostr clients can't tell the difference across the bridge (unless Mostr adds a tag to indicate this).

Great suggestion @Sjors

I added this as a suggested best practice on nostrability repo

https://github.com/nostrability/nostrability/issues/96

That said, it might be fine to allow more expressive emoji's as a reaction, for other nostr users to see. But the UI should make it clear that the author won't see it.

Agree it's a design problem. Unsure of the best solution.
