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.
Lemmy’s still small enough that if you’re even remotely active, you start to recognize just about everybody. I like that, and I kinda miss that about the smaller communities/forums of the old internet.
jots down your username
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Definately gonna follow this guy around Lemmy and make completely innocent remarks, that are in no way insulting or aggressive.
But with Lemmy being so small, and me having said that, he’s now going to wonder if I actually AM following him around Lemmy. Or is it really the coincidence of Lemmy being so small.
However I post so often everywhere that it’s bound to happen. And he’s going to be like “OH MY GOD DUDE!!! IT’S BEEN THREE MONTHS!!! STOOOOOP!!!”
And 5 minutes after posting this I will immediately forget he exists. Thus making him look like a crazy person from my perspective.
See? This is how you troll yourself. Start by having insane thoughts, follow up by acting on them, then forget the whole thing, and be confused by the consequences of your own actions!
And thus, I learn absplutely nothing!
I used to use the personal tag/comment in RES to keep track of peoples real names when they let slip in a post.
It was always fun to run across them in another sub months later and use their name as if I knew them.
So, how many people scrolled through this thread looking to see if they were mentioned? 😛
It would be very surprising if you weren’t mentioned.
But just in case, I notice you! :P
Yes.
I see and reply to u/FlyingSquid a lot.
I also see u/The_Picard_Manoeuvre or some variation. I only remember those two as I saw them a lot when I came here and still do.
I don’t but I will add you to my watching list.
While some have already been mentioned, I’d also like to call out that we do have the esteemed Academy Award winning actress, Margot Robbie in Lemmy! She posts when she can, and I’m really hoping one day she’ll do an Ask Me Anything with us.
Yay
I thought she was only nominated?
She’s a winner in my heart
🥰
Lemmy supports Margot, no questions.
FlyingSquid, The Picard Maneuver, Ummthatguy, SatansMaggotyCumFart, SPECULATOR, KonalaKoala, SHEEPLE, ParabolicMotion (infamous), El_Burrito, FartsWithAnAccent…
There’s more that I recognize but mostly by their avatars and not their names.
KOLANAK!
Not really, because I normally don’t even look at or register usernames unless I emphatically agree or disagree with a post. I’ve been doing this for years, first on forums, then on reddit and now here. I don’t want to be biased against the content of the message just because I like or dislike a particular poster, so I mostly ignore usernames altogether.
Has anyone seen academy award nominated actress Margot Robbie lately?
Maybe she’s busy working and can’t spend as much time messing with tech friends on social media or something.
EstraDoll cuz she inspired me to get HRT :)
Damn we’re already at the people have transitioned because of this social media site stage?
I met my wife on lemmy 35 years ago!
Yes, it is I Wife. I exist. (Not a scam)
I also pick this man’s wife -_-
Again not a scam but in order for this to become official, I must get to know you. What is the make and model of your first car? Also what’s your favorite food? And what’s the name of your first pet? Again not a scam, I just want to get to know you better.
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.
I just play her on TV.
Flying squid spends their entire life here as far as I can tell. And just about every major news sub is owned by Jeffw. This place has like 400 active users tops.
Jeffw ain’t a bot?
Too many news bots here IMHO
Jeffw keeps the Philly sports communities going, they’re a real person.
Commenting usernames which I know and Someone else have didn’t commented yet.
@[email protected] He is now inactive on Lemmy Sadly
Blaze is of every instance! they have so many accounts!
Craftyindividual, pugjesus, adjjj, nanoUFO, all the frequent content posters in the magazines I am interested in. Sometimes I recognize people by name who post less frequently or just by avatar in the sidebar when logging in.
Pugjesus is single handedly keeping alive some of the small communities I really like.
@[email protected] is cool AF and fun to make silly comedy bits with in the comment sections.
Plenty. In fact it’s something I enjoy from here, reminds me of the old internet. It also feels less full of randos than Reddit, although in smaller communities that wasn’t a problem.
Honestly the profile pic helps a lot.
