We're a small tight knit community. We see the same names everywhere. I'm sure many of you have been recognised by strangers before.

What is your claim to Lemmy fame.

I highly doubt i would be recognized by anyone in any meaningful capacity. To draw attention and get internet clout you need to be a hyperactive poster, a mod for an active community, or engage in a little politics/drama otherwise nobody notices nobody cares. Im just some guy who says things and post whatever.

What's mine? I'd guess goth latinas.

“Now, we got a nice quiet little beach community here, and I aim to keep it nice and quiet.”

I'll be honest, I rarely look at names unless I read a comment that says something about OPs name.

You do would-you-rathers sometimes.

I'm not sure if people recognise me, although I post enough someone could. I suspect I'm known on my even smaller home instance, at least.

@SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com for posting great art!

@cm0002@lemmy.world and @PugJesus@lemmy.world for pointing out the Tankie shit happening on Lemmy. They both also contribute a lot to the rest of the Threadiverse.

It would be so much easier for me if you said “post what other lemmings are known for”. Shout out to bonesofthemoon who shares poems they like. It’s something I want to post more of my self. One of the many comms I would contribute to if I had more time! 😭

I don't because I mostly lurk and go silent a lot

I never remember to read user names, I've only very recently turned on people's pictures so I occasionally notice repeats.

I do always see Y around as I have their username flagged because I've had disagreements with them in the past
