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 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

I use tags in the voyager app to remember users after meaningful interactions.

Probably for adding articles to my open source project, idcaboutprivacy

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I don’t think I’ve been here long enough to be recognized.

as @agertudici@sh.itjust.works somebody told me they recognized my rant about applying hospital socks to someone with chf but I think I deleted it in my last round of privacy deletions

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I wouldn't know what I'm recognized for, if at all. It could probably be many things. Being nice to someone, being a tool to someone, saying something funny/smart, saying something stupid/ignorant. Y'all tell me 😆 I'm sure they're all correct.

I might get recognized in some trans communities or the selfhosting community I think but beside those I don't think anyone recognizes me.

I don't think I've ever had anyone on Lemmy comment on my post history but I have had comments about my username

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)
