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.

    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]…

    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.

    @[email protected] Yes, but I use microblogging site of the Fediverse pretty often, and recognize more names from there

    (Software I’m using supports both Lemmy and Mastodon etc so I’m exposed to both)

    I’m fairly certain that at least most of us that post at least semi regularly in tenforward recognize each other. There’s a few doing a lot. My posts have dropped off lately because of creative burnout, though so I’m not around as much.

    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.

    No, but I miss the days of smaller forums with user recognition. The last time I really recognized a user that wasn’t a mass repost bot was a user on the r/stalker (game) sub-reddit by the name of CeliceTheGreat. Every interaction and opinion we ever had were seemingly in solidarity with one another, and it was always a pleasure to encounter him on other subs occasionally. I doubt he was any more Russian than I am (American/Canadian), but I miss you, comrade, and think of you often.
