Out of curiosity, can you give an example of this? I would think the “real identity” of people on Lemmy wouldn’t matter nearly as much as on a people-focused platform like Mastodon or Twitter/X. Plus, icons can be faked and there’s no concept of a verified identity, so the username is the best indicator of identity anyway.

For example, it is pretty important to realize the post you are reading is from c/theonion, and the most effective way is to see the community picture on top of the post.

Also I find in general more image makes the UI more vibrant and inviting for me.
