On Voyager I can't even see avatars or custom usernames
I prefer no avatars, cleaner reading experience.
Yeah I put avatars on my early Lemmy accounts, but then switched to Voyager. Now I don’t care because you don’t see avatars on Voyager anyway. Plus I kind of like the old school pre-social media feel.
I think it’d be nice if apps could let choose show or hide avatars in the settings.
I'm still on Sync for now and same. But I don't think I saw them even on desktop...?
I'm on Sync and I see avatars. Think it's a setting somewhere.
EDIT - sorry, I see someone else has already said much the same :-)
It's okay, you're just being referee! 😉
I'm on Sync as well, and I can see some avatars but not others
Yeah, now that I check, I do see some of them.
Wow, I cannot even find a setting to enable it. I used to have a very high opinion of Voyager, but I am finding recently that it is missing a lot of features.
It’s a free app, so they have to prioritize on what they work on. It’s amazing we have what we have.
Sure, it's just that in the early days when we started getting more Lemmy apps than just Jerboa/Lemmur, Voyager tended to be on the forefront of adding new features not found in other apps. But nowadays, as the landscape of Lemmy apps has matured, Voyager has fallen behind as its philosophy seems to be stuck at "be a clone of Apollo". It is by no means a bad Lemmy app; it is just no longer at the same relative level compared to other competing Lemmy apps.
Jeroba has them visible. I switched from Voyager a while back.
It’s built on the ethos of Apollo. Apollo’s dev had no interest in supporting avatars because they make for a shitty, cluttered experience and I FULLY stand by that decision.
