I found it’s slightly less intuitive to add a pfp on Lemmy as compared to reddit. On reddit it’s literally on the front screen while in Lemmy you have to go into the settings.
It isn’t hard, but seeing that the average user here was previously a redditor, it’s still enough of a difference
I’m on a desktop browser and I just went to try to work out how to upload an avatar on reddit. I really struggled!
I found I could create a “snoovatar” easily enough. Found that option on both old reddit and new reddit.
I couldn’t find the option to upload a profile image at all on old reddit, and on new reddit I finally found it in the user settings, basically the same place as lemmy has it.
Did I miss something? Or were you referring to the “snoovatar” thing?
I didn’t want one on Reddit and I don’t want one here. This is a forum not a social media to me, my only identity here is an anonymous name, I don’t want feel represented by a drawing, don’t want to be famous on here, and don’t want my image on here
Because who cares? It’s the content that matters, not how the profile looks of the person who posted it.
I didn’t have one on reddit. I don’t see the need to have one here. As someone else already mentioned, I barely pay attention to usernames, let alone profile pics. I care about what you’re saying. Not what you or your profile look like.
Though I do just sometimes have those weird feelings, like with how so many people just look the same aside from the name, that I’m not really talking with other people. Yeah I know that’s very silly and unusual but it’s just kind of a weird feeling I have, like I’m speaking to a mass conglomerate or a bot instead of a normal, living person. I guess I just got so used to people having their own, detailed profile that someone not having it feel strange and unnatural, if that makes sense.
No thank you! Genuinely, I’m here for content and to drop the occasional comment. I come from a time of irc and php. Customization was nice, but I’m not here for it these days.
While I have a pfp I also have it so I don’t see anyone’s pfp unless ik on their profile, and at that point it doesn’t matter. It just feels like clutter when I see It.
