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.
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.
jots down your username
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Definately gonna follow this guy around Lemmy and make completely innocent remarks, that are in no way insulting or aggressive.
But with Lemmy being so small, and me having said that, he’s now going to wonder if I actually AM following him around Lemmy. Or is it really the coincidence of Lemmy being so small.
However I post so often everywhere that it’s bound to happen. And he’s going to be like “OH MY GOD DUDE!!! IT’S BEEN THREE MONTHS!!! STOOOOOP!!!”
And 5 minutes after posting this I will immediately forget he exists. Thus making him look like a crazy person from my perspective.
See? This is how you troll yourself. Start by having insane thoughts, follow up by acting on them, then forget the whole thing, and be confused by the consequences of your own actions!
And thus, I learn absplutely nothing!
I used to use the personal tag/comment in RES to keep track of peoples real names when they let slip in a post.
It was always fun to run across them in another sub months later and use their name as if I knew them.
Boost has a tag function. Main reason I’m using it, though I mostly just use it to tag tankies.

That is a really spot on description on how I live my life.
Relevant username(?)
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.
Ooh, I wonder what power-up you’re holding?
Shocked nobody seems to have brought up ThePicardManuever yet
Him and Stamets are easily the ones who kept me here a year ago
Shocked nobody seems to have brought up ThePicardManuever yet
And @willya@lemmyf.uk 😏
I think most of Lemmy knows me by now, and FlyingSquid.
And Stamets. Though, thinking about it I’ve not seen them about much recently.
JameGumb and Pug Jesus too.
I think the fediverse is the future and I want it to do well and be robust, and also I like to talk a lot so that translates to posting here.
He’s Riker now.
He really didn’t like the end to Discovery.
Haha I’d missed that.
On a side note I thought it ended ok. Not great not terrible I’d probably give it 3.6.
The calypso ending was massively tacked on. Instead of putting the tech in the black hole they should have had to have Discovery itself have to hide with it. Then emotional goodbyes under pressure rather than dragged out.
3.6 of? 5? 10? 69?
3.6 roentgen, not great, not terrible.
Stamets had a hater, he probably just made a new profile lol
Yeah that dude who said he has narcissism so it’s ableism to ban him or something?
you and @FlyingSquid yeah. I did calculate one day how much flying squod posts and comments and damn he’s active
edit: I guess you can link people like that. TIL
I do appreciate the poetry posting
I’m so glad! I’m always surprised who reads it.
Never heard of you. What did you do?
Yeah I see this person everywhere
One of you, or the furry that I can’t remember the name of (so sorry), has to compete to become the new GallowBoob.
Or me. I exist.
EDIT: Kolanki
Omigod I forgot Gallowboob.
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
Yes I do and look forward to thier comments.
Hey she’s pretty good
I don’t but I will add you to my watching list.
I’ll try to do the same haha
I think Kolanaki, Zacharia, Margot Robbie (since she’s famous already), are the ones I can remember. Maybe making a journal page for keeping track would help.
don’t forget Satansmagottycumfart
Yep I did lol, thanks for the addition
Wait, I thought the Margot Robbie account admitted to not being the real person? Lol.
I just play her on TV.
Yeah, but it’s funny to keep up the bit
That’s exactly what the real Margot Robbie would want you to think!
I briefly created a POTUS account on kbin and posted what I thought were obvious jokes. It got so overwhelmed with people assuming it was real that I got creeped out and immediately abandoned it. I was kinda shocked. People really just kinda…believe whatever the screen says, I guess.
Probably just her lawyers telling her to tone it down a bit.
Perhaps they (her lawyers) got worried about all her completely justified complaints about being snubbed for awards 🤷
Isn’t she? That’s it, I’m out of Lemmy /s
Whoa you found all my alts
flying squid, return2ozma, jeffw, and that raging moron Stern is about it for me.
FlyingSquid is the only one I recognize and I feel like he’s lemmys GallowBoob from reddit.
That character is almost literally on every thread I read.
Very present throughout. My top answer.
Unlike Gallowboob, Flying Squid posts interesting things I genuinely enjoy instead of generic gruel obviously calculated to farm upvotes from the mainstream. Flying Squid is also an interesting and fun participant in the comments and seems like a pretty cool person, while I seen to remember Gallowboob coming off like he’d be an insufferable jackass in real life.
I don’t remember him being like that early on so if he is/was it probably influenced from user interactions and let’s be honest, people could be pretty toxic. I agree though about Flying Squid, they seem pretty cool.
I think that’s one of my earliest blocks. Lol.
Ah really? He’s nice and thoughtful.
FlyingSquid, BonesoftheMoon, jeffw, and thePicardManeuver are the ones I recognize because I see them so often.
Kolnax? Or someone because it’s huge and blue
Kolanaki.
You mention ThePicardManeuver but leave out Stamets@lemmy.world???
These are the ones I keep seeing too except for Jeff. I see Picard all the time
jeffw is news articles mostly.
Flying squid and thePicardManuever are the only ones I recognize and I’m just realizing now that they are two different people
Yes. Aside from the friends I’ve made on here, which I rather not disclose, I regularly notice the following usernames:
👋 samesies!
Flying squid spends their entire life here as far as I can tell. And just about every major news sub is owned by Jeffw. This place has like 400 active users tops.

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
48k monthly active users. Votes count as activity, so commenters number is definitely lower
Votes count as activity
Hooray! I’m doing my part as someone who is mainly just a lurker.
I may be off for sure. But it’s pretty easy to size up the daily users and subs they run. It really depends on the metric you want to look at. The details are everything.
Jeffw ain’t a bot?
Too many news bots here IMHO
Jeffw keeps the Philly sports communities going, they’re a real person.
It may be both? I’m not sure how the API works but I’ve thought I’ve seen him comment a few times in between the rage bait lol.
The “Satan’s maggoty cum fart” person, hard to forget a name like that and the images it puts in your head
It has invaded my head, too. I want a chance to use it in real life, but when!? Where!? Trivia night?
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world has a distinctive profile picture, and I see them everywhere. Also I suspect I know @Dave@lemmy.nz IRL, but I’m not certain.
I know it’s bad to put your own picture in your profile, but I had to show you all how majestically I soar.
Keep soaring buddy. 💜
I would think that O’Hare and Indianapolis International would have issues with you violating their airspace.
I have always wondered how do you do it: How do you fly?
I squirt my way out of the water using my body like a jet and then soar on my fins!
From the link:
A species of oceanic squid can fly more than 30 metres (100 feet) through the air at speeds faster than Usain Bolt if it wants to escape predators, Japanese researchers said Friday.
So, what’s chasing you?
From the link:
It’s a squid-eat-squid world down there.
Sounds pretty capitalistic to me.
Do you have a minute to talk about socialism?
Look, I’m all for the squid to control the means of propulsion, but it’s hard convincing others…
Also I suspect I know @Dave@lemmy.nz IRL, but I’m not certain.
I guess that’s a consequence of telling the same anecdotes on lemmy and to everyone I see.
Everyone knows @Dave@lemmy.nz.
Yes.
I see and reply to u/FlyingSquid a lot.
I also see u/The_Picard_Manoeuvre or some variation. I only remember those two as I saw them a lot when I came here and still do.
This, FUCKER on internetfunreal and BackOnMyBS on autism
Moi?
I’m not on any of those places.
I just added whoever I recognised to your comment, sorry.
It’s cool. No need to be sorry. 😊
Well that just proves, I’m socially incompetent.
Sure. Like @The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world or @fossilesque@mander.xyz or @Blaze@reddthat.com or @otter@lemmy.ca or @brucethemoose@lemmy.world … and there definitely are more people that I see regularly and simply cant think of their names right now
