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.

    Off the top of my head, a lot. @FlyingSquid, @The_Picard_Maneuver, @AngryCommieKender, @captainlezbian, @DragonTypeWyvern, @Cryophilia, @masquenox, @jimmydoreisalefty, @SatansMaggotyCumFart, @BonesOfTheMoon, @1984, @Cryophilia, @Nurse_Robot. Some of them just have very memorable or kick-ass names (Nurse Robot? Why didn’t I think of that???), and some of them are unavoidable on the site.

    I also usually remember the active conservative and “centrist” specimens on this site, like intensely_human, IsThisAnAI, TubularTittyFrog, SpaceCowboy, Melvin_Ferd. I tend to strongly disagree with them a lot.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I recognize a lot of people, both good and bad. When someone stands out I set a note for them in Lemmy, so I can see them more easily. So far in this thread I see otter@lemmy.ca, BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world, and MargotRobbie@lemmy.world - all fun and awesome from my experience.

    I’ve already blocked military veganism (not the actual name but I don’t want them to accidentally show up) And I’ve noticed satansmaggotycumfart (or something similar to that) a few times
