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.

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.

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 11 months ago (2 children)

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

Nope I never pay attention to usernames and images.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 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 11 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

I'm getting close to 1,500 😳

Definitely. Also remember avatars a lot.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I have never recognised usernames.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I don't check usernames 🤷
