I mean, it seems pretty easy to do. That way we could diffrenciate between users much easier and help it feel more like a community.
Because we have a name already and aren’t looking to share any personal info.
You can put any pic you like. Doesn’t have to include any personal info.
I thought it had to be a picture of your fingerprint?
You have some really weird fingerprints
Pic of your credit card and/or social security card only.
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?
Oh. They might have changed it. Tbh I haven’t changed my avatar on reddit for years lmao
But then I’d have to pick something that doesn’t reveal anything about me, why should I make that effort?
I mean most people on the internet just pick a picture they like
Yes, I actually am this 16 yr old anime girl.

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
OMG, it’s local micro celebrity JJROKCZ! Can I have an autograph?
Link your steam and I’ll sign it lol
Profile pics are dumb. I don’t want you to recognize me, this is an anonymous form.
Interaction should be about what is being said, not who said it.
I disabled them from the settings. Unnecessary clutter, names are enough to understand who you’re talking with
Most people from reddit were not using avatars. Sometimes people had one from the avatar maker.
And sometimes someone had a hexagon and got rightly dunked on.
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.
Oh, ok. Yeah I completely get it.
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.
… People have profile pictures?
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.
I pay no attention to avatars, I barely pay any attention to usernames.
Usernames are enough.
When I joined reddit we didn’t have no fancy schamncy pfps
I never use a profile pic, regardless of the fediverse or anywhere else.

Don’t care about it
I made one with AI
I tried to set a pfp but everytime i did it it was just a black square (maybe because i was using a png or smh)
Maybe you should try a different profile pic? Sometimes photos online can be wacky like that. It could also be in a bad format. I usually download photos and save them on my desktop. Usually this way it let’s me set up profile pics.
Also, swag profile name. Terraria is the goat
Alr ill try later when ill be on my pc.
Terraria W game
image uploads on blahaj were a bit buggy lately. i think they’re working fine right now so you may want to try again.
