I seem to have acquired a baby face next to my name when I post something. How do I get rid of this please? I’ve have looked.
Certain Lemmy apps show the baby face emoji next to newly created accounts. I assume this is a futureproofing measure against spam or bot accounts by bringing the newness of the account to other users’ attention so they know to be more wary of them. Based on my previous experience hunting bots on Reddit, I think this is an excellent futureproofing feature.
If you’re using the Voyager app, you can activate or deactivate this indicator on your end by going to the General settings in the app and switching the New Account Highlightenator. Other users will still see the baby face next to your username until you age out of it, but I don’t know how long will take.
Welcome to Lemmy!

It’s a flag for new accounts. It depends on the platform/settings you set up.
On your platform, you’ll see everyone with an account under that threshold with that tag.
