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.
Small town vibes where you actually recognize people at the grocery store kinda thing.
Smaller community, so the power users (like myself, FlyingSquid, The Picard Maneuver and others) will undoubtedly be more prevalent than the many, many other users that barely post at all.
I do in fact recognize all those users including you
But do you recognize me!?
I don’t remember you, but i remember that post about google maps
I think it’s good that you don’t remember me. I always obey the rules of good grammar.
I see you everywhere and I enjoy it. Thanks for contributing to all the conversations. O7
Yeah, you are very recognisable, but people like me, who lurk most of the time, comment maybe once a month.
Not very memorable.
I literally scrolled through looking for your comment.
Everyone on lemmy is a bot except you.
I don’t post nearly as much as I would like, because I post some stream related stuff in my own community on lemmy and don’t know want to come off as someone who is trying to advertise all the time. I have been reported for that posting to my own community, which… ya know. I get it, nobody cares about yet another streamer dude, but it is a bit intimidating almost.
If it’s any consolation, i checked out your stuff, and while i don’t really play TTRPG’s i know a couple of people who do, so I’ll be sure to recommend your stuff to them.
I swear there is one dude who is like a frequent news reporter, I see his name nearly all of the time around the instances. But yeah there seems to be just a handful of people who represent the minority that just chat away.
It’s a smaller neighborhood here dude.
Yep! We smol.
IllegallySmol
I see that now
Be the change you want to see. Post and comment. Start a sub.
That’s more difficult than it would seem. Especially since the niche stuff i would be interested in fostering is… well… niche. And lemmy isn’t that large. YET!
What interest is it?
Have a look at [email protected] for list of existing active communities
[email protected] for people who make communities grow
Mostly just anime specific communities and other hobbies. Thanks for the info though. Maybe I’ll get around to making a community
[email protected] us usually fit for discussions about specific animes
Feel free, yesterday I discovered we had [email protected] , so sometimes it’s just there, but unknown
Might i say that you’re always doing a good job of promoting these communities as well. Kudos to you!
Because it is dawg.
Total users are like ballpark 1 million, and most don’t post much or at all – e.g the 1-9-90 rule.
By comparison Reddit and twitter are the most trafficed sites on the internet
‘Had to look up the 1-9-90 rule
Important concept when it comes to communities like Reddit and Lemmy, and something to keep in mind when talking about online marketing and propaganda.
A handful of posters, relatively speaking, essentially shape global consensus, and many know that, so plan accordingly.
Yes, plan accordingly as a reader, AND as a poster!
The trick is not to read the usernames. I imagine myself surrounded by millions of mostly sensible people!
Be the shitpost you want to see in the world.
I’m commenting to boost engagement!
I’m engaged in your comment
I am engaged with your engagement.
Congrats! When’s the wedding?
Wedding? I want to get invited! I’m currently on a speedrun to get invited to a wedding!
We’re looking sat you PugJesus! 😎
Just trying to keep things alive until they’re self-sustaining! I look forward to the day when I don’t, uh, post every day.
The ratio of commenter/poster to lurker is always pretty lopsided. I also never read user names.
There’s one user that seems to be everywhere and it’s probably the same user everyone is thinking of right now lol.
I’m also surprised I come across other “agents” on here more frequently than I would expect.
Yeah, that guy’s everywhere. Assuming we’re thinking of the same person, which i think we are
I worked it out, they have ~6 comments/hour average over the last year. A lemmy legend.
Whoooo? Are you not allowed to name names?
The discussion is probably about https://lemmy.world/u/FlyingSquid
I see “50.7K Comments” and “Joined 1 year ago” at https://sh.itjust.works/u/[email protected] and 50.7*1000/(8760 hours) = 5.78767 posts per hour
it’s me me meee right?
It’s quite incredible how much one can manage to post when it’s your full time job
Honestly, that’s one of the cool parts of old internet (forums, chatrooms, etc.) is getting to know people, you get to know the community 😊
