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.

Damn I need to post more.

[–] Delusional@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Nope I never pay attention to usernames and images.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

If you're a regular on any of the communities I mod, I remember your username. Any new username to me immediately stands out.

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 months ago

I recognise a lot of people on hexbear since most other instances defederate them. doesn't leave a lot of variety so it has that forum feel.

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.

[–] electro1@infosec.pub 5 points 5 months ago

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

[–] bloodfart@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 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

[–] StorageAware@lemmings.world 5 points 5 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.

[–] russjr08@bitforged.space 5 points 5 months ago

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!

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 5 points 5 months ago

Definitely. Also remember avatars a lot.

[–] geography082@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

No it’s all the same to me and I don’t even care about the usernames

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Ickplant moderates and is the main poster for !otters@lemmy.world , !bats@lemmy.world , !opossums@lemmy.world and !beavers@lemmy.world which, together are about half my Subscribed feed. BonesOfTheMoon fills my feed with !poetry@lemmy.world which is nice.

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

I'm getting close to 1,500 😳

No, somehow the usernames are not very prominent and especially the avatars are so small that I practically don't see them.

I have never recognised usernames.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

I don't check usernames 🤷

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Oh my, a real who's who, I recognize most of the names mentioned too. But let's be fair, they post stuff while many, myself included, just comment.

Too bad I just use my game name for this, haha
