So active that I always recognize the 100 or so usernames that are everywhere
It’s a feature, I’m gonna try to remember people’s names more
Some clients (at least Connect and Voyager on Android) have a user tagging feature, so I've been tagging people I see over and over or trolls, or whatever. It's really handy to start to easily see who's around and posting.
You're one of us too!
To be fair, that happens on Reddit as well.
These sort of comments always make me wonder who recognises my nick. A ranking of 'user-recognition' would be fun. Though obviously impractical.
We all know what that list would look like: https://feddit.org/post/3602869
TLDR version:
Honestly, it depends on your circles and network. I only remember seeing The Picard Maneuver maybe twice, didn't know of them before this week. I've seen your username far more, for example.
True true. I think Lemmy.ml tends to be more insular than most instances though? e.g. the default sort is Local rather than All. Like basically for people who already had most of their Fediverse needs met, there was less need to join communities across the wider range?
I don't know enough to say if it's more insular or not, I don't know how common it is to have the default sort as All, but we're definitely worldly enough for other instances to have some users pushing stereotypes on us when we comment.
You do have some point about lemmy.ml having enough instances that you can get by with Local as default, but I assume most people would be subscribing to or exploring other instances too? I really don't know.
Well it is one of the top 10 instances, and defederated from almost no other instances, so it definitely is rather well-known:-).
I'll make sure to remember your name moving forward. Your current ranking: Awesome
I do
Yeah, but you're like the community directory, you know everything 😂
First time I hear this ha ha 😂
These sort of comments make me wonder who is reading usernames. I barely ever look because it doesn't matter except in reply threads.
I usually passively recognize them. Even more if there is an avatar
I originally found it surprising how often you run into the same names, feels a lot more small town than reddit in that way.
I wonder that too. I know I have seen yours, but not enough to dislike you if that means anything lol.
I recognize yours
Same
Heyo!
So do I!
