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.
A couple, but first and most often my own.
I recognize maybe 1 or 2. I’m on a lot less than I was when I started so it makes sense.
There was a thread about me (cheese_greater) a long time ago haha. Like they say, if you can’t read about yourself…It was pretty…balanced, fr
There’s mostly the same handful of people that ever report posts/comments so you quickly start recognising them. There are probably about ~20-30 people from my own instance that I recognise and a few prolific shitposters in the wider lemmyverse. Disabling profile pictures certainly makes it a lot harder to remember profiles though.
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.
I thought she was only nominated?
She’s a winner in my heart
🥰
Lemmy supports Margot, no questions.
Hey she’s pretty good
Yay
Yes I do and look forward to thier comments.
That one blue furry seems like a nice person
Agreed, surprised they haven’t shown up in this thread yet lol.
At least someone in here appreciates me.
You’re one of several people I see frequently in various threads. I do hope Stamets is still around, haven’t seen them much lately.
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world is cool AF and fun to make silly comedy bits with in the comment sections.

It has invaded my head, too. I want a chance to use it in real life, but when!? Where!? Trivia night?
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.
that makes sense. hopefully she knows she’s not been forgotten.
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.
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.
We have avatars here?
(I’m an old curmudgeon that only browses lemmy via old.lemmy.world for that retro feel)
I recognise you lol
You yourself are certainly easily enough to detect with that username, lol.
Other than that, FlyingSquid, mostly because of the specific shade of color on his or her avatar. The fact that I agree with 98% of what he or she posts probably helps as well.
Hey it’s big assed letter name guy!
One day I’ll make the list!
Is it sad that I want certain people to recognize me but not everyone?
KOLANAK!
I’m always seeing posts and comments from that one guy everybody secretly doesn’t like. Man, I hate that guy.
shit
There’s nobody that I don’t like
There’s nobody that I don’t not like
I ain’t never met nobody I didn’t not dislike.
I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
Oh no! It me!
I’m sorry
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)
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.
You can tell her buddy. Popcorn’s the best, ain’t ya sweetie
Definitely. It helps that I tend to stick to the less mainstream lemmy communities (mostly the queer communities on blahaj.zone). It’s to a point where it can be rare for me to enter a popular comment section without seeing at least 1 or 2 recognizable usernames.
To be honest, I kind of enjoy the smallness of the platform at times, it reminds me of what the old internet has always been described as to me (but with faster data transfer, and more features)
FlyingSquid mostly, and a few others. Not sure if I’d be able to spell all the others properly though, lol
I had to block a few who were spamming too much, but I’ve since forgotten their usernames.
