Adding subscription emotes on your discord server can help you as streamer build your community and make your channel emotes more popular among the Twitch users. This can increase the likelihood of them keep their subscription to your channel. There is no harm in adding it on your Discord server. It will be weird if they can’t use the subscription emotes on the Sub-Only Discord server

Since your subscribers already paid for the emotes, why can’t they use it on your Discord server anyway? Believe me, some of them will ask this feature on Day 1.

But what about if you’re not a streamer? What if you’re the viewer?
