I think most of Lemmy knows me by now, and FlyingSquid.

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.
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.
...
I recognize everyone with an avatar.
I recognize half as much without one.
I recognise half the names in this comment section. And op too
Yes. Aside from the friends I've made on here, which I rather not disclose, I regularly notice the following usernames:
FlyingSquid is the only one I recognize and I feel like he's lemmys GallowBoob from reddit.
I think that's one of my earliest blocks. Lol.
Ah really? He’s nice and thoughtful.
FlyingSquid, The Picard Maneuver, Ummthatguy, SatansMaggotyCumFart, SPECULATOR, KonalaKoala, SHEEPLE, ParabolicMotion (infamous), El_Burrito, FartsWithAnAccent...
There's more that I recognize but mostly by their avatars and not their names.
While some have already been mentioned, I’d also like to call out that we do have the esteemed Academy Award winning actress, Margot Robbie in Lemmy! She posts when she can, and I’m really hoping one day she’ll do an Ask Me Anything with us.
Yay
I thought she was only nominated?
She’s a winner in my heart
🥰
@PugJesus wya?
Why did everyone get so political lmao
Everyone got political because that guy is pro genocide. Its a pretty gross stance. Hard to overlook.
Is he? I wasn't aware of that
I'm not. I'm extremely anti-Israel, but not supporting a Trump presidency makes me pro-genocide in the eyes of accelerationists.
Is it good to be engaged enough to be recognised in Lemmy? I don't know if the big players around here are just spending their entire day on Lemmy as many people on Redditors do. There is a small part of me that too wishes to be recognized as an active member in this community but I don't want it at the expense of my real life.
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!
Seeing names pop up here that I know are just trolls. It's actually kinda a bummer. Like the Santa maggot guy. Quite certain they are not here to be helpful, so why glorify them? That said, we know Picard is legit so three cheers to them.
SatansMCF is all over the place, they have some good takes, and some awful ones
Yeah I think there're a few names I've started to recognise as regulars.
Not sure if they're literally in every thread or if I just have a load of interests cross over with them
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!
