What ๐Ÿฆ€ means

Cancer the star sign, a crabby mood, or the sideways crab walk: this red crab with raised claws covers all three.

In the "crab rave" meme, people write "๐Ÿฆ€ [something] is gone ๐Ÿฆ€" to celebrate the end of something. Rust programmers use it for the language's crab mascot, and seafood lovers use it for crab feasts.
