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.

Nope, not quite, or at least I can't remember.

I reckon not everyone carried over their username from the other place; I personally didn't.

Well see EVERYBODY knows The MASTA CHIEF

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)

Damn I need to post more.

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.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 6 points 11 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.

[-] electro1@infosec.pub 5 points 11 months ago

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

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah a handful of people, but I’m terminally online when I’m between my terminally offline tasks

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!

[-] bloodfart@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Your comment made me look at your username and now I regret it.

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.

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

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.

Definitely. Also remember avatars a lot.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 4 points 11 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

[-] obsolete@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago

I have never recognised usernames.
