Avatar ? The blue people ? The bald kid ?

So that everyone on the internet can know I am a dog.

In comment sections or in community pages, it’s mostly an ocean of default avatars.

When I joined it seemed like most people had an avatar. I have used this one for years, so why not?

I also like recognizing other Lemmings. Username is alright for that, but the image helps even more. It makes it feel like a small community from the internet of old (forums).

It’s an ornithological avatar. I’m trying to raise mass awareness of a certain avian variety.

Completely forgot there are profile avatars on Lemmy. BRB, gotta hop on my desktop to see if I have one set up. Cannot find any settings about it in Voyager ( probably didn’t look hard enough or my eyes glossed over it ).

Edit: editing on my browser and I have my favorite Tiny Toons character as my profile avatar. All is good. I don’t have many images I use as profile avatars, so Dizzy Devil Ducky it was. At least that;s what I imagine was going through my head.

I find it easier to follow a thread if I can quickly tell who is saying what. I usually don’t remember the usernames so a picture helps there. It’s not a necessity of course

I didn’t realize its a lesser used feature. There was probably generic auto-assigned pfp and I dont like those.

i like cat

Because ^

I like spaceships…

I didn’t. So there.

I’m used to having an avatar of some kind. Plus I think it looks good.

I want to encourage people to talk to me, I wanna make new friends online, also, I have some little info in my profile page

All my public facing socials have avatars

Because it’s Mimi. She’s awesome
