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

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 5 months ago (1 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)

[–] MacedWindow 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What software is that? Sounds nice.

@[email protected] Mbin, it's a kbin fork

I am pretty sure there's more software that can do it, I know Friendica can interact with Lemmy communities for example, but it's more similar to Facebook than Lemmy

I've had some really bad brain fog for most of the year, so while I'm generally not able to recall them on the spot, I certainly do see quite a few that makes me go "Oh hey I remember that one!".

I like that the Threadiverse is still kinda at the size that this still happens quite a bit.

I'd be very surprised if I were recognized since I've been quite bad about contributing to the conversation, but I still enjoy things around here nonetheless!

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.

I'm sorry, are you telling me you're only subscribed to around 10 communities?!

I'm getting close to 1,500 😳

Yes, based on the way they talk actually, not by their usernames...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

i haven;t paid attention to someones username unless they brought it up

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Your comment made me look at your username and now I regret it.

No it’s all the same to me and I don’t even care about the usernames

[–] captainlezbian 5 points 5 months ago

Yeah a handful of people, but I’m terminally online when I’m between my terminally offline tasks

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Just a few, mostly prominent people from the OpenStreetMap community that I recognize by their username/profile picture.

Sometimes I also tend to see my instance admin sometimes, but it's more rare.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Definitely. Also remember avatars a lot.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (10 children)

No, somehow the usernames are not very prominent and especially the avatars are so small that I practically don't see them.

euphoric cat.

edit: app devs and instance admins too sometimes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Yes, I recognize a few. I can't name them from the top of my head but I always remember them when I see them.
