Bot-owned webhooks can't send emoji's from servers the bot is not a member of

[AroLeaf]

Description

This issue is similar to #5319, but applies to webhooks created by the bot itself, not part of the interaction system.

• External emojis still work with user-created webhooks.
• It's not because of a bot token also being sent, I've tested without bot too.
• Edit: It's not permissions, the bot has admin perms, and I also gave it explicit external emoji perms, and it still didn't work,

Steps to Reproduce

Have a bot account:

• Create a webhook.
• Send a message with that webhook containing an emoji from a server the bot is not a member of.

Expected Behavior

I expect to see an emoji.

Current Behavior

I see the name of the emoji surrounded by colons (example: :idontworkanymore:).

Screenshots/Videos

No response

Client and System Information

• The client used to view the message doesn't matter, as the data returned from the API already contains the :emojiname: instead of the full emoji mention.
• I tested using both discord.js and browser fetch requests from my own webhook website, both with user-created and bot-created webhooks.

This is a known issue that was an unintended side-effect of the recent changes to how external emojis work.

This was declared an unexpected breaking change, but I still think Discord should fix the issue, as it affects a lot of bots.

A little update from another discord user:

the tupperbox / pluralkit devs have spoken to them ( discord devs ) abt fixing it but discord is currently like 'nah, we're gonna keep it like this for now'

come on Discord, just ban the specific bots mimicking nitro and leave others alone

Same applies to slash command responses for me. Emotes of servers the bot isn't member of aren't rendered anymore. Weirdly, they are rendered very well when using buttons.

This is currently intended behavior. I think there are some threads in the discussions tab about this if you want to discuss that further.
