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.
I recognise half the names in this comment section. And op too
no, but i recognise one profile pic.
also, my block list is gigantic.
my block list is gigantic.
That’s what she said
Why don’t people normally have profile pictures here? This is so much easier to recognize in comparison to text names.
I mean, I love that this style of forum is anonymous. I like judging what people say as the first thing.
I didn’t think to add one. BRB.
Edit: And done!
Do I have a profile picture? I see no pictures on the app I’m using inside the threads themselves. I think I have one. A lot of people don’t customize things at all.
Yes you do :)
I think this is a big part of it. I don’t think any of the apps I use have pfp visible by default (tho the community icon shows) and I don’t really care enough to see if I can turn it on. I know I have one, because I used stable diffusion to make it, but I don’t recall what it looks like because it doesn’t show up on my profile page, and my profile information is intentionally suppressed in the main interface (it would show there if I wanted). I never click into other profiles (other than by accident), so I don’t see them there either.
I legit hardly ever recognize anyone because I don’t pay much attention to names unless it’s something weird I want more context for, or a back and forth conversation. I think Reddit trained me to gloss over that.
Former lurker and exclusive mobile user, I’m mildly surprised you guys have profile pictures; but I suppose my investment is low.
I’m with Rebekah on this one. Never even thought about a profile pic bc the app I use doesn’t show them.
Am I on the list yet
Jokes aside, do you not feel like the fediverse is more “dead” when you block people? I remember back when Ruqqus was a thing, everyone blocked eachother and then quit because eventually you end up blocking the people who post OCs/memes due to irrelevant comments
I blocked a couple of the prolific meme reposters and my Lemmy experience got a lot better. I don’t need to relive Reddit’s Greatest Hits.
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 can’t see profile pic because voyager doesn’t display it.
I was starting to think I was crazy bc I don’t see profile pics anywhere! But I guess it’s a Voyager thing
It’s a boss cat.
Yes. Mostly people who I interacted with outside of Lemmy.
I read somewhere those are what some refer to as “friends.” Whatever that word means. ;)
I specifically refer to a matrix channel used by an instance I’m part of. I wouldn’t classify that as friends.
Why did I read this in Data’s voice?
A friend is like two friend requests back to back. I think it’s some kind of geometry thing.
No, somehow the usernames are not very prominent and especially the avatars are so small that I practically don’t see them.
But thanks to your post I now made the avatars and usernames bigger and thus more prominent, perhaps I’ll recognize more people like that!

That’s true. I recognise you though, probably because you self-host the instance
I think you might be great to do a podcast. You could explore the pressing issues society faces. The long lasting issues that society has faced for generations. Healthcare, religion, education, senior care abuse by nursing homes, inappropriate actions of priests with little boys, the shrinking availability for citizens not corporations to buy houses, parenting styles evolving over time. I could go on, but you get the idea.
First you start the show, and discuss the topic in a more rational logic and fact based side, and then rediscuss everything from your more sensitive, vunerable, emotional side.
The whole hook of the show could revolve around the duality of mankind, and how every issue has different ways to look at it. Different sides, ya’ know? And even though all of it is your opinion, your different sides may often differ, and clash.
It would need a website though. How about www.Jennas-Side.com
:D
I already have both, a website and a podcast. In this episode https://jeena.net/pods/18 for example I talk with a ex Jehovas Vittnesses about how religion destroyed her life, very emotional episode.
Or in this one https://jeena.net/pods/21 I went to Palestine to speak to a Palestinian family which house has been bulldozed by the IDF 3 times already.
Can’t tell if the joke went right by you without notice, or if you’re just not a fan of dark wordplay.
Definatelly the first one. I realized that the comment is somehow very on point with the topics, I even showed it to my spouse and she was also confused. But I didn’t realize it was a joke. I guess I need to read it a couple of times.
For those who don’t get the joke, it’s a play at the concept of the “both sides” argument of political and international relations, and the website is a pun on genocide. The joke being that by pretending to see everything through an objective lens, you’re allowing the aggressors to commit genocide.
OK, I really didn’t get the joke so I had to ask ChatGTP and it explained the joke to me. Not bad, and unexpected.
That may be the best use for ai I’ve seen!
Sometimes I read a completely wild take and then notice it was @dessalines@lemmy.ml and just give him an upvote
Such a nice gesture to prevent them from stalking you
Oh yeah lol
flying squid, return2ozma, jeffw, and that raging moron Stern is about it for me.
I think Kolanaki, Zacharia, Margot Robbie (since she’s famous already), are the ones I can remember. Maybe making a journal page for keeping track would help.
Wait, I thought the Margot Robbie account admitted to not being the real person? Lol.
I briefly created a POTUS account on kbin and posted what I thought were obvious jokes. It got so overwhelmed with people assuming it was real that I got creeped out and immediately abandoned it. I was kinda shocked. People really just kinda…believe whatever the screen says, I guess.
Probably just her lawyers telling her to tone it down a bit.
Perhaps they (her lawyers) got worried about all her completely justified complaints about being snubbed for awards 🤷
I just play her on TV.
Isn’t she? That’s it, I’m out of Lemmy /s
That’s exactly what the real Margot Robbie would want you to think!
Yeah, but it’s funny to keep up the bit
No shit it’s not the real person.
don’t forget Satansmagottycumfart
Yep I did lol, thanks for the addition
Whoa you found all my alts
Oh yes, I see the same people! It’s like a friendly community!
Always nice to see you on !casualconversation@lemm.ee
I don’t but I will add you to my watching list.
I’ll try to do the same haha
Username checks out.
I only know 4 or so offhand though there’s probably more that I’m interacting with on a regular basis that I should commit to memory.
I know I’ve seen you before because your username cracks me up
Thanks, I’ll have you know that my chihuahua (mutt) is indeed a force to be reckoned with with his 1 eye and 6 teeth.
Sounds fierce! My beagle chihuahua mix will just make very loud high pitched and squawky noises, so as long as your chihuahua still has hearing mine has a chance in a battle
Yes, quite a few.
Yes, I see a good amount; I also try to interact with them as well!
I have a few admirers; they make sure to share their opinion on some of my posts; making sure I am not lonely, how thoughtful!
It is always a great time when you recognize some peeps, and then there are some that are just ‘Passin’ Me By’[1]…
[1] The Pharcyde - Passin’ Me By
This song will now be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. I’m not complaining.
Awesome!
It is way better when it is a song we like!
Can’t go wrong with the pharcyde
You are correct!
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.
Ooh, I wonder what power-up you’re holding?
I’ve ran into my sister a few times. Hilariously one time she didn’t notice my username and actually quoted my own comment back to me IRL because she thought it was funny.
Quitting Reddit and joining Lemmy certainly feels like moving from a metropolis to a village.
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!

That is a really spot on description on how I live my life.
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.
Boost has a tag function. Main reason I’m using it, though I mostly just use it to tag tankies.
Relevant username(?)
Yea, I see same people all the time, small world or small lemmy idk
