You guys have profile pictures?

SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works · 44 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Only Flying Squid and Margot Robbie have profile pictures and I refuse to acknowledge anyone else's.

Nice!

menemen@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Thank you.

NorthWestWind@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 2y (9 replies)

Yes (please look at mine I really want everyone to look at mine)

SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Did you draw it? If so, that's neat

NorthWestWind@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2y

I did! It was made with inkscape

Impressive!

I checked it out! I have avatars disabled. Didn't even know they were a thing. I can confidently say; yours is the best avatar on Lemmy that I have ever seen! audience clapping

How do you enable them on Voyager?

Oh. Rip.

ToffeeIsForClosers@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I don’t see a way to do this in the settings.

GBU_28@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 2y

I can't even see that shit in voyager and happy for it

gmtom@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Yes, and Banners too, banners are the true way to measure a lemmy user.

Klear@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

What I really need is a huge "signature" panel under every comment I make.

saltesc@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

I forgot they were a thing because my app has them off lol

robocall@lemmy.world · 81 pts · 2y (15 replies)

Do we really have profile pictures? I didn't know that

jkozaka@lemm.ee · 34 pts · 2y (3 replies)

It's the main way I recognise regular posters

GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip · 14 pts · 2y (1 reply)

That seems short sighted, for example the very popular voyager client doesn't show any profile pictures. I wasn't even aware those are a thing. I dont want one either though.

jkozaka@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 2y

It's just easier to notice than a name, but some users have eye catching names too, some use emojis for example.

can@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y

And that's why I'll never add one.

Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de · 18 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It seems like a lot of ppl don't know that haha

Pandantic@midwest.social · 4 pts · 2y

Well, they don’t show up in the app I use (except when I post or comment and I see mine).

basxto@discuss.tchncs.de · 16 pts · 2y

Avatars and banners

steal_your_face@lemmy.ml · 13 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I don’t see them on my client, but I remember I set one up on web when I first opened my account.

scottywh@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Well, here's how yours looks on my client:

steal_your_face@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 2y

Cool, I kind of wish voyager showed the profile pics now

_Sprite@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y

altima_neo@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 2y

ZombieMantis@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Yep

problematicPanther@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Frozzie@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I don't know about you but I do have a profile picture

Graphy@lemmy.world · 69 pts · 2y (13 replies)

Who tf wants to see profile pics

zaphod@sopuli.xyz · 26 pts · 2y (2 replies)

There are profile pics on Lemmy? Why would anyone want that?

Psythik@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

How do I set one in Voyager?

can@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y

I don't think it's supported yet. but you could sign in to the website for others using different frontends to see.

idunnololz@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I've been using them a lot and I will say that it makes Identifying people way easier. I notice "regulars" now way more than before because of their unique pp. Whether that's a good thing or not I've no idea.

WereCat@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I don’t mind identifying people based on their unique pp but I find that quite NSFW

idunnololz@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I knew someone would make that joke when I posted that comment.

Sigh...unzips

WereCat@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y

To be fair your comment begged for that joke and I absolutely had to take that freebie ;)

I find over half the people that do it are unhinged, so it's a great way to weed out undesirables as I browse. I love the block function.

Thank you to all the blocked people who expressed their mental illness or skewed views of reality so thoroughly.

(Ps: they can still read my comments, but I can't see theirs, except as a reply that never shows up... it fills me with warmth)

JasSmith@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y

100% of people who have one of those stupid anime avatars are insane.

NickwithaC@lemmy.world · -8 pts · 2y (2 replies)

It's a useful anti bot tool.

can@sh.itjust.works · 21 pts · 2y

No it's not

Jax@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y

Ah, I didn't realize we haven't reached the point with AI where they can download and upload images.

Why the fuck are so many people scared of AI? Lol fucking idiots.

GardenVarietyAnxiety@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (2 replies)

It's okay... sniff We're used to it...

FilterItOut@thelemmy.club · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

There, there, buddy. You don't have to listen to all the hate. Just screen the hate from your life. Put a big ole metal grating in front of the flow of pejoratives and catch them before they hit your brain space.

GardenVarietyAnxiety@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

... A hate grate?

Oh yeah, those are big words coming from such an obvious banana.

I'm tired of all these fruitman accounts.

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2y (1 reply)

This is an anti-fruitman account, good sir. I demand you desist with those slurs against my good name.

Watch out, he might set up a vegetable man argument next! 🥸

But only the early gang can have the cool nicks

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Are you telling me AcFgGeRHo2RtG2F765YRhj isn't a cool username?

samus12345@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Names with numbers in them are such obvious bots.

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Especially when they appear in chronological order

samus12345@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Or even numerical order!

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Any order really let's be real

OP, your nick is literally Rolfmasterbigpimp

Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world · 37 pts · 2y (6 replies)

I don't see any Problem 🥸

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Personally would've preferred RolfMasterBigPimp

Has Lemmy finally made it? We are big time now?

StephenTallentyre@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Not quite yet, but yeah, probably gonna be "big time" soon if I had to guess. Reddit is inaccessible through a VPN (while logged out) now, so it's basically dead at this point.

jaybone@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

That’s what everyone said nine months ago when they blocked API access, and all third party phone apps stopped working.

They still seem to be doing fine over there.

FractalsInfinite@sh.itjust.works · 22 pts · 2y

Currently there doesn't seem to be any mechanisms preventing me from spinning up an instance with 10k votes to downvote a post. The bots will come eventually

Makeshift@sh.itjust.works · 21 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Pfp? Well I missed a memo. Seem to be fine without one though since I didn’t even know that was a thing.

DragonOracleIX@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 2y

Same. I only browse on mobile, and it doesn't show pfps.

Making me realize I never set up a profile

SkyezOpen@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 2y

I never set up a profile in 7 or 8 years on reddit, I'll be damned if I start now.

assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Shit I need to make a profile pic now

Klear@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Fuck that. Never needed one on reddit, won't get one here. Why? I don't expect or particularly want people to interact with my profile.

rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 2y

I feel attacked.

Sam_Bass@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Not at all a recent phenomenon.

Why am I associated with only one of these things?

theangryseal@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

We don’t got no pictures. I guess I need to dig out my Spock in drag pic.

I didn’t even know you could have a profile pic. I’ve never seen one on here.

dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

You totally can. Mine is a penguin.

Lemmy being what it is, visibility probably depends on a thousand tweaky little factors like which instance you're on, which instance you're looking at, and what client you're using.
