Do you recognise any usernames on Lemmy? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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.

Yeah, especially that bird picture person and the big letter person.

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.

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

Definitely. It helps that I tend to stick to the less mainstream lemmy communities (mostly the queer communities on blahaj.zone). It's to a point where it can be rare for me to enter a popular comment section without seeing at least 1 or 2 recognizable usernames.

To be honest, I kind of enjoy the smallness of the platform at times, it reminds me of what the old internet has always been described as to me (but with faster data transfer, and more features)

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.
