I keep seeing the same names popping up. I think it’s rather cute!

TL:DR; I agree and I love it here!
Yeah it certainly feels that way to me too. I can’t speak for the rest of the Fediverse platforms (Friendica, Misskey, Mastodon, etc.) but Lemmy is certainly a tight-knit, active and generally friendly group…
You should have seen how it was like here before May this year, when there were only a few dozen users that posted or commented anything at all across all servers, call that tight knit.
Still, I’m so proud of everyone for help in keeping a friendly vibe for the most part, and for user reporting and mod actions keeping trolls at bay. There was quite a bit of concern that when people migrated from Reddit en masse that it Lemmy would be taken over by the same uninspired drivel or become a Reddit repost site. What we got are very healthy meme and shitpost communities with shitposters who engage with commentors, tech news, politics, environment news with active discussions where people have disagreed with each other without getting in a complete rage about it, and cute animal pics like !aww@lemmy.world and !superbowl@lemmy.world.
There’s still progress to be made on parts of the technical, moderation and community sides. For my part, I’m trying to post more and my goal this year is to share a lot pictures of the cityscape to Lemmy.
I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
Most of you are alright.
as a former resident of the infopop forums, i liken the fediverse to bulletin boards in the 90s and early 2000s and it’s nice - the kind that were super hyper localized by topic but everyone was friendly. :)
It’s like back in the day of Internet forums. I don’t mind it at all.
bro i thought i was old but then i met an old nerd who said they use these things called IRC servers or some shit idk
when I was young (but still way past the prime time of IRC, 2000’s), I was invited to a few IRC servers for raids and etc. I didnt realize other kids werent doing the same…
The golden days of IRC were the best. Every day I use the current internet, I miss the way of the old internet. Back when everything was just run by a bunch of nerds doing whatever they wanted, as opposed to everyone being shut out by the big names now, looking to control everything and maximise profit.
I miss the format of old forums. I wonder if they still exist?
I have a really bad habit of never looking at anyone’s names…
Brother Brother
Well, Neil, isn’t that a little selfish of you!
Yes, whoever you are.
There are specific users with emoji names that stand out a lot all of the time.
Interesting! I wonder if the Eternity client doesn’t show that? I have never noticed it at least. I am also in the habit of never looking at names though. Maybe it is good to be in the habit of remembering names because it humanizes the people on the other end or so?
I am on eternity, too, it shows that
Same, but it is a trained habit. I purposefully do not want to look at usernames.
You’ll be having a perfectly nice conversation only to look up and see you’re talking to “uwu_yes_daddy” or “aryan_enjoyer88.”
Same 😅
Yes, that’s one of the nice aspects.
Thanks to @throws_lemy@lemmy.nz and @BrikoX@lemmy.zip for their tech posts, and @ZeroCool@slrpnk.net and @realcaseyrollins@narwhal.city for the movies posts, you guys rock
Back at ya Blaze, it’s always a pleasure running into the other moviesandtv regulars!
Somebody has to fill this place with content…
Sorry
the cutest character on ST:D is also the cutest character on the fediverse. who’d have thought!
Comments and votes are content too.
Sorry, I’m just making a bad joke about my frankly unhealthy posting habits.

Yeh it does feel rather close. It’s quite nice honestly
needs human momentum. every bit counts.
I bet it might be fun to, just once, get all the most infamous lemmings goofing around in one thread together. Because communities are themed, maybe they don’t usually cross paths that often
Same ol’ faces… Almost has the feel of forums of yesteryear…
I had not, but I don’t read the names. I will endeavor to notice. Thank you for the heads up.
Hmm, I will be glad if someone remember my name. I just post to fill the gap in communities.
Also I remembered @crul@lemm.ee for comics and other arts post, @statmets@lemmy.world and @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website for memes, Heisenberg and Otter for comic and meme too, @kolanki@yiffit.net and annoyed_(Dancing Crab), @sour@kbin.social for comment this “[._.]” with GD Icon and many more. Thanks to all of you making such a Good community.
I remember kolanki. Likely because the display name is all emojis 🤣
Nice list!
Omg SagxD i remember u
OMG
I’m like Visa. Everywhere you wanna be.
I see you in almost every thread I read lmao. Thanks for contributing to discussions. Something I should try to do more.
The users with custom name font also just stick out
You inspired this post fyi
