Although Lemmy's userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.

Nope, not quite, or at least I can't remember.

I reckon not everyone carried over their username from the other place; I personally didn't.

Yes.

I see and reply to u/FlyingSquid a lot.

I also see u/The_Picard_Manoeuvre or some variation. I only remember those two as I saw them a lot when I came here and still do.

I see a few of the same people in many threads. There are definitely some “power users” here.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

I recognize a handful just in this thread.

Hi familiar names!

Has replied to me mentioning him so he's definitely the most memorable

A small handful. Especially those who post content a lot. But not a lot.

However, when reading comments, I only check usernames when I either strongly agree or disagree. Only outliers are identified; idle chat is visually anonymized by my having a very limited field of view.

Not really, but some pfps maybe

Ickplant moderates and is the main poster for [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] and [email protected] which, together are about half my Subscribed feed. BonesOfTheMoon fills my feed with [email protected] which is nice.

While some have already been mentioned, I’d also like to call out that we do have the esteemed Academy Award winning actress, Margot Robbie in Lemmy! She posts when she can, and I’m really hoping one day she’ll do an Ask Me Anything with us.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Yes I do and look forward to thier comments.

I'm always seeing posts and comments from that one guy everybody secretly doesn't like. Man, I hate that guy.

The "Satan's maggoty cum fart" person, hard to forget a name like that and the images it puts in your head

There's mostly the same handful of people that ever report posts/comments so you quickly start recognising them. There are probably about ~20-30 people from my own instance that I recognise and a few prolific shitposters in the wider lemmyverse. Disabling profile pictures certainly makes it a lot harder to remember profiles though.

That one blue furry seems like a nice person

I recognize maybe 1 or 2. I'm on a lot less than I was when I started so it makes sense.

There was a thread about me (cheese_greater) a long time ago haha. Like they say, if you can't read about yourself...It was pretty...balanced, fr
