We aren't really a big instance. We don't even make the top-20. Where we really hit above our weight though is our comment count.

We are medium in size, but we are super engaged.

This is where the avatars come in. I don't pay much attention to the usernames, either. But those little avatars stick in your mind and you start to remember people.

Yes, everyone is still a stranger, but that doesn't mean there isn't community.

    Voyager (and Connect by the sounds) don't display avatars or custom usernames so you lose that bit of customisation in at least some of the apps.

    I think I prefer it. Avatars are usually bad anime anyway. I think mines a ghost face lady.

    Huh. You and @Aussiemandeus have probably just answered why I keep defaulting back to Jerboa. I have most of the Lemmy clients installed, and cycle through them. I usually use Jerboa for aussie.zone - I thought that was because it was the first one I had. Now I think it's for the avatar support.

    Sync also has an option to enable avatars. I can't use any client that doesn't have avatars available. I'm too used to identifying people by their avatars... and now emojis and OP/admin tags.
