It has! At least on the web, if you view user profiles - but most of the time they're pretty useless because in the comments they're scaled down to text size. And the Lemmy clients don't bother with them at all. Communities do have icons which are at least more widely used and supported.

Mastodon is my go-to "shout in the void about my goings-on" platform.
Pixelfed is where I post my original photography and artwork.
Bookwyrm is for my book nerdery, mostly.
Edit: Oh and I have a Matrix account but despite the fact that I mentioned it to literally all of my friends, nobody uses it. I keep it around in case someone actually wants to send me private messages because Mastodon is kinda badly suited for that.
Welcome to Lemmy. We don't have collectible avatars on blockchain. Sorry if you were into those. But you can make your own avatars if you want, which I think is even better!
train cars only for women
Good thing nobody can actually suggest that in this day and age. Because that's a concept that makes everyone immediately go "Ooooh, how delightfully 1800s. Wait, why are we doing this, I thought we were better than that."
...If someone actually suggests that, have them be detained by a few chimney sweeps until the police arrives by horse carriage.
Notepad had one job. Operate on a damn text file. Operate on the damn text files I choose.
I knew it was going down the drain when I reopened Notepad and it opened the files that were previously open. No. Don't do that. That's overly helpful. You were only supposed to operate on the damn files I chose. These files I'm about to work with aren't necessarily the files I previously worked on. If I want this functionality I might as well open it in vscode.
I'm, like, screw it, might as well keep Emacs running if I need random temporary text editing.
In the past 25 years I've used public transport, I think the bus broke down once while I was aboard, and I think it ended up in the newspaper. I think it's a good thing public transport folks spend a lot of time maintaining the vehicles and especially on regular preventive maintenance.
I can barely fix my bicycle, so I don't want to tinker with the bus company's broken stuff. I trust that stuff to the certified mechanics they employ. Doubly so for trains, that's for some serious mechanics only.
I am definitely going to need my morning coffee. I see the word "Y'all" and I'm somehow thinking "shouldn't it be Xall if we're taking about X11? Wait what's wrong with my brain"
Side note, but:

I'm studying French but I don't speak it that well yet.
Oh wait:

I feel like I'm learning important day to day phrases here! Why don't they cover this stuff in language courses in this day and age, I wonder?
Regular rain coat, because I love photography and cameras are hard to use with an umbrella. Have one as a backup though. (though admittedly I just had fun tracking the umbrella down after it fell off my camera bag in middle of nowhere. Found it hanging off a tree fortunately) My current jackets can handle light drizzle.
Also, proper rubber boots which I've been using for, uh, can't remember, at least the entirety of the current millennium. (Indestructible. Literally made by Nokia.)
I'm already alone, and I'm just fine this way, thank you.
Fortunately I don't live in Douchebaglandia.
"Showing up on time" is the lowest possible bar, isn't it?
Recently I found an old school yearbook. My entry was written by someone who barely knew me. Said something about me showing up on time all the time. Now, I was like "holy shit that's cringe, I don't want that on my tombstone".
I left Reddit after the API broke down, and it took me a while to get a client because I first went with Kbin and it didn't work with Lemmy clients. After I got to Lemmy I kept waiting for Sync to get good. Nah, sadly not. Switched to Connect, and later Voyager, and I think this is where it's at.
