- Based on https://web.archive.org/web/20260618001349/https://washingto... and https://web.archive.org/web/20260621034150/https://washingto..., it seems like they were added at some point between the 18th and the 21st. I definitely think it helps navigating the site, and it's a nice compromise between Craigslist's text-first style and a nod towards usability.
- I like it.
Good user experience isn't about dogmatically sticking to "text only", but about making a useful, understandable, navigable site.
Emojis seem to help section the dozens of links on the homepage without adding unnecessary visual distraction or page payload.

- Interesting, it even uses the clippy emoji for resumes!
I think OP is reading into it too much , it seems like a minor embellishment and I never personally correlated emojis with LLMs.
- As long as emojis are used as an _addition_ to text labels I think this is a good thing. The problem arises when they are used _instead_ of labels, although that’s a problem that predates emojis, it’s common with normal icons.
If you design an interface when some actions are only behind icons/emojis (no text, no hover title), expect users like me to click on them just to see what they do.
- > people are beginning to feel emoji fatigue
Are they? News to me. I like them. Do they show up in Lynx or whatever terminal-based browser the hip kids are using these day are using?
- You’re completely over reacting and might need to spend some time relaxing with other humans
- I noticed emojis in the top-right corner the other day; I thought, “oh, that’s interesting”, and continued browsing – even though Indeed has more jobs, like Marketplace (1) has more for sale, I far prefer Craigslist for being simple and easy-to-navigate.
1: How many people don’t delete Facebook because of it? When I left Facebook for good, losing access to Marketplace felt like a real sacrifice.
It was worse in a rural village here in Alaska, where everything was on Facebook, much to my dismay. But the upside of a small community is that I heard about things anyway via word-of-mouth.
- This prompted me to check out rental rates in my old haunt of Inner Sunset. I remember the Craigslist offices on 9th and Judah...
It's shocking that a 1 bedroom apartment now rents for $4-5k/month....

- Would have been nice when they had casual encounters - eggplant, water droplets, tongue peach.

- > how do you feel about the entire thing?
I feel about as strongly as I do about the font that Google use
I will never understand this visceral reaction that emojis provoke in some people
- oh, it looks like they changed the URLs tool. I used to be able to go to a subdomain like boston.craigslist.org. Now it redirects to www.craigslist.org/area/boston
- Maybe it is from a coding agent. And the maintainer has no reason to remove it as it looks ok.
- nah the worst part is they moved boats from for sale -> auto. threw off my whole flow

- “Emoji Fatigue??” It’s a little late for that. Emojis are normal now. They’re to be expected. They’re here to stay, forever.
Language has shifted. It’s ridiculous to try to pretend it’s upsetting it even novel at this point.
What’s really odd is places that specifically don’t support emojis nowadays.
