Who here customizes their instance profiles?

and if you don't, any reason why not?

I don't even know what that means

I haven't found any interface for setting or seeing user profiles. Not on the web, not in voyager. I see people refer to them but I just assume my server isn't on the latest release or something.

Edit: ... and I went poking around again and found it in the browser under my profile settings, and I can now see profile information that way. Still without any access in my primary client, it's not particularly useful.

You mean use a custom avatar and add a short bio + links? I do, but if you're thinking of anything beyond that I would not know where and what to look for, sorry ;)

I have a cool gif as a banner, but I don't think others can even see?

I think most users use the mobile apps like Voyager and Raccoon.

Racoon is currently ahead in that they do display profile pics, animated/static banners, user bio info, moderation responsibilities, etc. Although Voyager is ahead in neat/useful features such as user tagging, user post/comment sorting🤌

User tagging is a super interesting feature, if it can be useful to someone it could be implemented in Raccoon too.

Can I ask what you mean by "post/comment sorting": how could it be improved?

Can I ask what you mean by ā€œpost/comment sortingā€: how could it be improved?

Post/comment sorting is a feature that allows users to sort other user's posts and comments.

Ok, I think I get it: customize per-user the sorting of posts and comments when you visit their profile, just like we already do for communities. That is an interesting feature too!

I use Boost for Lemmy. That's about as far as i go for customization.
