Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?
-
There, I added an avatar.
That's me under my Performance Designs Spectre 150, circa 1997 or 98... Can't remember as I've slept since then.
On my app I can't see it. It maybe you made someone else's day.

In comment sections or in community pages, it's mostly an ocean of default avatars.
As a UI developer, that's always been a gripe because I put a lot of effort into making them look good and scale properly, etc. When I see 60-70% or more accounts sporting the default avatar, it makes me wonder why I even bother.
So, since this bugs me so much, figured I'd just ask.
Lemm.ee users I can understand because of the waiting period for uploads, but AFAIK, most instances don't have that restriction. Even then, there are plenty of
.eeaccounts that never bother to go back and set one.I haven't cared about stuff like that since I was 15

(Clicks on your avatar)
Not sure what I'm looking at, but can confirm it's fun!

Yeah same. Does Connect even have a setting for that? I mean I won't use it; I guess I never bothered to look is all.

I literally didn't know they were supported and never see them anyway.

Guys, I feel like this is a joke rather than an insult. This person has a profile picture.

Sure, it's just that in the early days when we started getting more Lemmy apps than just Jerboa/Lemmur, Voyager tended to be on the forefront of adding new features not found in other apps. But nowadays, as the landscape of Lemmy apps has matured, Voyager has fallen behind as its philosophy seems to be stuck at "be a clone of Apollo". It is by no means a bad Lemmy app; it is just no longer at the same relative level compared to other competing Lemmy apps.
Jeroba has them visible. I switched from Voyager a while back.
