At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven't even been on lemmy that long.

Do you identify as being part of this class?

Ironically, I don't see any of the regular users I see in every community on this thread.

I dont notice it a whole lot mainly cos i dont really care who im talking to tbh. I do wonder if my username stands out tho?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago

It does, if only because of the font.

For me, the difference to reddit is less the participation/diversity in individual discussions. Rather, that lively debates only happen in some prominent subs. That is the one thing I miss here when comparing lemmy to reddit. On reddit, you can look for some niche hobby or some random computer game and chances are that you'll find an active community.

Yep, that's the one thing i miss about Reddit that isn't here on lemmy. Oh r/sudoku how much i miss thee

I do not have the time to post / comment usually.

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Lol I don’t usually look at usernames, and when I do it’s almost always to block someone

Lemmy may be small, but it's cozy!

The fediverse makes communities feel even smaller since even widely connected nodes have instances they aren't networked with, so even a massive userbase can feel like a small neighborhood, because as an individual user, that's what you're going to see with your account pegged to any given instance.

Hey, GrammarPolice! Nice to see you again today! Take care, see you later!

In the community I post in and read the most, I certainly recognize almost every poster. But in all communities, I recognize the most prolific of posters, but few others.
