I think the apps and the web ui should increase the size of the users avatars and make the username a bit bigger so it’s easier for people to start recognizing eachother and grow a sense of community. Back in the forum days people would remember eachother’s usernames/avatars for their contributions and it would be easier to grow a sense of community making things less hostile and easier to create community events

    While I agree, I’d like to add that it’s not hard to recognize and remember the very active and/or notable posters.

    Actually for the fun of it, I’ll name a few on top of my head:

    QuentinCallaghan: Sopuli founder and avid commenter.

    Ategon: Hot in the tech subs, seems like a really nice fella.

    Picard Maneuver: Memelord and legend

    Flying Squid: Meme master and commenter

    Dessalines: Dev for Lemmy, Jerboa (and the keyboard I use, thanks this is great).

    Ruut: Lemmyworld founder.

    And some more whose username I can’t recall at the moment.

    Also it’d be fun if you commnted some more. :D
