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.

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.

Yesss.

flying squid

the cooler mia

max

gandalf der 12

ygthur (or sth)

and probably a few i forgot rn

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah I think there're a few names I've started to recognise as regulars.

Not sure if they're literally in every thread or if I just have a load of interests cross over with them

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Yes. Mostly people who I interacted with outside of Lemmy.

The rest of these comments are surprising because I don't remember anyone past an interaction we had. Now I'm wondering whose shit list I'm on

Unfortunately, yes. The vast majority of them are from shitty people that are on my block list. Only a few are just prolific posters, like Picard Maneuver and Flying Squid.

Nope. But I mean I don't even remember names of people irl, haha

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Yea, I see same people all the time, small world or small lemmy idk

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

No, but I miss the days of smaller forums with user recognition. The last time I really recognized a user that wasn't a mass repost bot was a user on the r/stalker (game) sub-reddit by the name of CeliceTheGreat. Every interaction and opinion we ever had were seemingly in solidarity with one another, and it was always a pleasure to encounter him on other subs occasionally. I doubt he was any more Russian than I am (American/Canadian), but I miss you, comrade, and think of you often.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Yes, a few.

Even if you see many, it doesn't seem odd to only remember 5 though. I was on Reddit for like 9 years and would only have recognized a handful of usernames.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

@Interstellar_[email protected] Yes, but I use microblogging site of the Fediverse pretty often, and recognize more names from there

(Software I'm using supports both Lemmy and Mastodon etc so I'm exposed to both)

Damn I need to post more.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah. I see a bunch of the same accounts, but that’s probably because they’re active in the same communities I am. I see a lot more accounts I don’t recognize though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Well see EVERYBODY knows The MASTA CHIEF

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

A few, but I generally don't look at usernames.

If you're a regular on any of the communities I mod, I remember your username. Any new username to me immediately stands out.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I recognise a lot of people on hexbear since most other instances defederate them. doesn't leave a lot of variety so it has that forum feel.
