Wondering if adding avatars to followers and following would make them more usable and make people use them more often. 🤔
@thecanine, what do you mean by "adding avatars to followers and following"? Did you mean, you are wondering what effects avatars have? That would be a good little research. I think people tend to follow those with an avatar—other than an auto-generated—more. That, of course, is just a hunch .
@fastidious What I meant was that the app currently only shows you the nicknames in those lists, not the avatar. If you follow or are followed by a lot of people, finding one only based on the nickname probably takes way longer, than what it'd take if those nicknames had avatars next to them.
@thecanine \n> only shows you the nicknames in those lists, not the avatar\n\nOh, that! Yes, it is the same on the web client. The followers/following lists need some work. Maybe something á la Twitter, or Mastodon? The project doesn't have an UI/UX expert (you know, frontend dev), which is needed really bad.
@fastidious I'm not one (at least not yet), but I feel like most of the UI/UX is pretty good, except a few very small things like this, that'll probably get improved overtime.
@thecanine keep in mind I don’t use the mobile app, and when I write about UI/UX I am referring to the web front-end.
