Making an attempt at updating via mobile. C'est un experiment. So far have already caught one autocorrect mishap. I expect if I typed an emoji into the HTML compose window it wouldn't yield any kind of interesting result.
Am a passenger in Dude's car, which has superior snow tires and better cruise control than mine and thus was chosen as the vessel for this journey. We're headed 300 miles straight east, to the farm, to celebrate a belated family Christmas.
Oop, the text window has now spilled out into the rest of the page, so I can't see what I'm writing under the drop-down for privacy settings etc. So that's a good cue to just. Give up and post. See y'all later.

I mostly mobile post (or it just never gets written). I don’t use it, but there’s a way to email in a post that allows you to bypass the website sizing issue.

Yeah, I should set up email posting, I could type that more easily from my phone.

I very occasionally update on my mobile but it gets annoying; generally I try to save posts for when I am sitting at my laptop or the family computer. (Or, occasionally, work, but ideally I don't social-media at work.)

Actually, I find that mobile phone emojis work fine and transparently on DreamWidth, as distinguished from some other sites that (for example) require a code like 🚛 for 🚛. So, Yay for that! 😊👌🌟🎆

Re the problem of running into the buttons at the bottom of the text entry window, try this possible workaround:

1. Turn on your phone's screen rotation feature
2. Physically rotate your phone into landscape mode and wait for the display to shift
3. Physically rotate your phone back into portrait mode
4. Test whether the entry window now scrolls properly. (Up to you whether to leave the screen rotation feature turned on or turn it back off.)

Caveat: These suggestions are based on my experiences with a five-year-old Android phone. Your mileage may vary!
