The profile pictures are super tiny and I only sometimes read the names. So, for the most part I only check the post/comment and decide on a vote or comment action.

I think I’m glad to not be noticed. I tend to comment to either make a joke or express exasperation/self loathing. Being recognized for that would probably be pretty embarrassing.

Sorry for making you my therapist Lemmy lol

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.

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.

Sure. Like @The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world or @fossilesque@mander.xyz or @Blaze@reddthat.com or @otter@lemmy.ca or @brucethemoose@lemmy.world … and there definitely are more people that I see regularly and simply cant think of their names right now

Only the one with the emojis in the name (something with a “K”)

Is it good to be engaged enough to be recognised in Lemmy? I don’t know if the big players around here are just spending their entire day on Lemmy as many people on Redditors do. There is a small part of me that too wishes to be recognized as an active member in this community but I don’t want it at the expense of my real life.

Yes, quite a few.

I recognize a handful just in this thread.

Hi familiar names!

Nope. But I mean I don’t even remember names of people irl, haha

A few, but I generally don’t look at usernames.

Bonesofthemoon posts sovcit mockery

flying squid, return2ozma, jeffw, and that raging moron Stern is about it for me.

@Blaze@reddthat.com and @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al I seem to run into the most and they both have 4+ different instances too.
