Avatars! Let's get into it. (waveform.social)

One thing I missed during the reddit era was user avatars. I always found it much easier to recognize posters this way. The lack of avatars next to a post made that whole era feel faceless. I'm glad avatars are included in profiles, and I think they should be brought back into the main UI.

I currently use Connect on Android, which puts a small (10x10px approx) avatar next to names. It would be cool to have an option to enlarge this, but it seems like a step forward.

Users that have a profile icon generally appear with that icon on the web UI. Of course it is not as easy as building your own Snoo on Reddit, but it works fine for me in both the web ui and MLem

I'm using the web ui now. I think it hits a good balance of not too big, not too small.
