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.

Not sure, I'd be surprised to be recognised. I definitely appreciate all the regular posters and commenters on here though!

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

[–] stopforgettingit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

My hope is that I don't get recognised, but in the past I was known for making long posts. So, maybe that?

We are here to discuss ideas, not people. That said, I do recognise a few accounts.

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! 😭

Hey. Hey you. As your attorney I advise you to buy a pocketknife. Preferably a really strange one.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

Cooking and getting riled up by tankies I guess.

[–] B1naryB0t@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The moment I get recognized I'm out of here.

[–] nkk@programming.dev 8 points 6 days ago

oh my god is that THE B1naryB0t!?

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I don’t like being yelled at.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't. And I like it that way.

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You actually are, I recognize your username

Insulting zionists

I was way more active on my previous account before my instance died. These days I am trying to get out of my lurking habits, but it's substantial effort sometimes

Anyway, I recognise a lot of names on these threads. In a way, it's very wholesome and warm but also a stark reminder of how small lemmy still is. Not that it's a bad thing, but sometimes there's not much, if at all, discussion for more niche stuff

Amazing how many names here I recognise! I doubt I've personally made a super significant impression outside a few arguments 😂

I don't think I get recognized, but I've had a handful of people say that they like the way I write, so maybe I have a group of dedicated followers somewhere.

Funnily enough, I just earlier messaged some random lemming that I had tagged for a while as "this guy seems cool" to let him know that. I figure everyone likes to get a little compliment like that from a stranger now and then. Just some random dude whose username kind of stood out to me and I noticed every time it popped up he seemed like a nice guy. So some of you are probably out there like him being recognized for just being a decent person.
