It feels nice to see people express themselves with an icon and banner of something they like instead of how homogenous the icons are on Reddit, unless you paid up of course. At least that’s how I feel. Definitely an unexpected pro.

    Interesting perspective. I only joined after the new UI was implemented, so I didn’t even take that into account. What did you see instead, or did old Reddit just not have icons at all?

      It didn’t have icons at all. Although I’m trying Jerboa app for Lemmy and it’s displaying people’s avatar, which I’m not used to (used boost for reddit). So I’m kind of in the opposite boat as you.
