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.
Definitely. Also remember avatars a lot.
Yesss.
flying squid
the cooler mia
max
gandalf der 12
ygthur (or sth)
and a lot of german home instance ones (ranslite, nudel, kühe, …)
and probably a few i forgot rn
My username relatives, including Mossy Feathers
A few mods, a few hard online posters, and I think like 2 or 3 devs of various projects including lemmy lol.
Yes, a few.
Even if you see many, it doesn’t seem odd to only remember 5 though. I was on Reddit for like 9 years and would only have recognized a handful of usernames.
Sure. Like @[email protected] or @[email protected] or @[email protected] or @[email protected] or @[email protected] … and there definitely are more people that I see regularly and simply cant think of their names right now
Hello @[email protected] !
👋
If you’re a regular on any of the communities I mod, I remember your username. Any new username to me immediately stands out.
Not really, but some pfps maybe
I don’t but I will add you to my watching list.
“Don’t tell him, Pike!”
Username checks out.
I’ll try to do the same haha
Yea, I see same people all the time, small world or small lemmy idk
no, but i recognise one profile pic.
also, my block list is gigantic.
my block list is gigantic.
That’s what she said
Why don’t people normally have profile pictures here? This is so much easier to recognize in comparison to text names.
Former lurker and exclusive mobile user, I’m mildly surprised you guys have profile pictures; but I suppose my investment is low.
I’m with Rebekah on this one. Never even thought about a profile pic bc the app I use doesn’t show them.
Do I have a profile picture? I see no pictures on the app I’m using inside the threads themselves. I think I have one. A lot of people don’t customize things at all.
Yes you do :)
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.
I didn’t think to add one. BRB.
Edit: And done!
I mean, I love that this style of forum is anonymous. I like judging what people say as the first thing.
Am I on the list yet
Jokes aside, do you not feel like the fediverse is more “dead” when you block people? I remember back when Ruqqus was a thing, everyone blocked eachother and then quit because eventually you end up blocking the people who post OCs/memes due to irrelevant comments
I blocked a couple of the prolific meme reposters and my Lemmy experience got a lot better. I don’t need to relive Reddit’s Greatest Hits.
Sometimes I read a completely wild take and then notice it was @[email protected] and just give him an upvote
Such a nice gesture to prevent them from stalking you
Oh yeah lol
I think Kolanaki, Zacharia, Margot Robbie (since she’s famous already), are the ones I can remember. Maybe making a journal page for keeping track would help.
Wait, I thought the Margot Robbie account admitted to not being the real person? Lol.
No shit it’s not the real person.
Yeah, but it’s funny to keep up the bit
I just play her on TV.
I briefly created a POTUS account on kbin and posted what I thought were obvious jokes. It got so overwhelmed with people assuming it was real that I got creeped out and immediately abandoned it. I was kinda shocked. People really just kinda…believe whatever the screen says, I guess.
Probably just her lawyers telling her to tone it down a bit.
Perhaps they (her lawyers) got worried about all her completely justified complaints about being snubbed for awards 🤷
That’s exactly what the real Margot Robbie would want you to think!
Isn’t she? That’s it, I’m out of Lemmy /s
Whoa you found all my alts
don’t forget Satansmagottycumfart
Yep I did, thanks for the addition
Yes. Mostly people who I interacted with outside of Lemmy.
I read somewhere those are what some refer to as “friends.” Whatever that word means. ;)
A friend is like two friend requests back to back. I think it’s some kind of geometry thing.
I specifically refer to a matrix channel used by an instance I’m part of. I wouldn’t classify that as friends.
Why did I read this in Data’s voice?
