At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven't even been on lemmy that long.

Yeah, that's what you get with smaller communities, you tend to see the same people over and over.

I post more on Lemmy since I think people will actually read what I wrote. I used to post a lot on Reddit too, but that was MANY years ago.

However one of the big reasons I post is to hopefully get the conversation started. I figure with zero comments someone is less likely to post. With one stupid comment, someone might respond.

I don’t see that as a problem personally

Ye, and I'm mostly fine with it (I just wish this place had more stuff that wasn't necessarily political, like "interests" type of stuff like comicbooks. We have some, and thankfully Linux is a big one, but I just wish there was more!)

I notice a lot of the same people in most of the popular posts. I guess it's because the quantity of people that usually comment vs voting or just reading post is pretty low, so you'll start to recognize them everywhere

It makes me wonder if people recognize me from other posts I comment on!

There are more popular people that hang out and comment often in the main communities, then there are people who pass by. I know on Reddit I've seen certain people pop up frequently in certain communities. It's a smaller platform so you see the popular ones more often but it's not that unusual.

After the reddit exodus I started creating memes for the first time and posting them on Lemmy. I've learned that it's harder to be funny than I thought. Also a lot of time/effort and I have actually important things in my life that I focus on. Reposting was also kinda fun but what's the point really

Does anyone recognize me?! I need validation for my useless contributions. Valor and accolades!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (4 children)

I don't see many users from the nsfw instance

It's a village vibe, grab onto the grapevine

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Nope, it is.

In a way it's kinda cool though. Feels more like a community.

You've been very busy talking to several of my puppet accounts.

Lemmy is still far from being another reddit. So it is definitely normal to see the same active users. For example, I see blaze alot.

Be the change you want to see. Post and comment. Start a sub.

Everyone on lemmy is a bot except you.
