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.

I think this is a big part of it. I don’t think any of the apps I use have pfp visible by default (tho the community icon shows) and I don’t really care enough to see if I can turn it on. I know I have one, because I used stable diffusion to make it, but I don’t recall what it looks like because it doesn’t show up on my profile page, and my profile information is intentionally suppressed in the main interface (it would show there if I wanted). I never click into other profiles (other than by accident), so I don’t see them there either.

I legit hardly ever recognize anyone because I don’t pay much attention to names unless it’s something weird I want more context for, or a back and forth conversation. I think Reddit trained me to gloss over that.
