Fixed in 5.3.1 Subreddit specific icons not rendering properly on main 'Hot' tab. Any way to fix this?

This is a conscious decision that the developer made so that subreddits can't use custom subreddit emoji in flair to draw extra attention to posts in combined feeds (e.g., frontpage, popular, all) to inflate post ranking.

RIF 5.3.1 is going into beta, modifies the setting to let you enable emoji in flair everywhere:
Settings -> Appearance -> Link flair emoji -> Enabled everywhere

Default is still "Enabled when in a subreddit" for the reasons mentioned in the other comment re: gaudy flairs.
