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.
I recognize everyone with an avatar.
I recognize half as much without one.
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’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.
I’ve ran into my sister a few times. Hilariously one time she didn’t notice my username and actually quoted my own comment back to me IRL because she thought it was funny.
Quitting Reddit and joining Lemmy certainly feels like moving from a metropolis to a village.
I think most of Lemmy knows me by now, and FlyingSquid.
I recognise half the names in this comment section. And op too
Seeing names pop up here that I know are just trolls. It’s actually kinda a bummer. Like the Santa maggot guy. Quite certain they are not here to be helpful, so why glorify them? That said, we know Picard is legit so three cheers to them.
SatansMCF is all over the place, they have some good takes, and some awful ones
No, somehow the usernames are not very prominent and especially the avatars are so small that I practically don’t see them.
But thanks to your post I now made the avatars and usernames bigger and thus more prominent, perhaps I’ll recognize more people like that!

FlyingSquid is the only one I recognize and I feel like he’s lemmys GallowBoob from reddit.
I think that’s one of my earliest blocks. Lol.
Ah really? He’s nice and thoughtful.
Yes, I see a good amount; I also try to interact with them as well!
I have a few admirers; they make sure to share their opinion on some of my posts; making sure I am not lonely, how thoughtful!
It is always a great time when you recognize some peeps, and then there are some that are just ‘Passin’ Me By’[1]…
[1] The Pharcyde - Passin’ Me By
Can’t go wrong with the pharcyde
You are correct!
This song will now be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. I’m not complaining.
Awesome!
It is way better when it is a song we like!
Yeah I think there’re a few names I’ve started to recognise as regulars.
Not sure if they’re literally in every thread or if I just have a load of interests cross over with them
