One thing I missed during the reddit era was user avatars. I always found it much easier to recognize posters this way. The lack of avatars next to a post made that whole era feel faceless. I’m glad avatars are included in profiles, and I think they should be brought back into the main UI.

I currently use Connect on Android, which puts a small (10x10px approx) avatar next to names. It would be cool to have an option to enlarge this, but it seems like a step forward.

      Not everyone has one. They’re emoji sized by people’s names. It may also be instance based… I’m not sure how it all works yet.

        Instance based isn’t something I knew would apply. I have an avatar setup which shows up desktop. But not here. If you have one, I don’t see it either. Weird.

          Weird. Have you updated

          Edit- I’m noticing they don’t always show, and I’m not sure what the consistency is.
