I'm not sure how to say LOL in German. It might be Lautes Auflachen or Laut Lachend, I'm not positive which.

4Could you clarify your question, please? Surely, when one uses the acronym lol in German, the intended expansion is still the English phrase, rather than a German substitute for it. On the other hand, if you are referring to expressing the action of laughing out in German, there are various expressions that can be used depending on the context (such as prusten).– O. R.

LOL has become an onomatopoeia in German. So people actually say lol or ell-o-ell.
