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 also happen to have MPD?

I don't post nearly as much as I would like, because I post some stream related stuff in my own community on lemmy and don't know want to come off as someone who is trying to advertise all the time. I have been reported for that posting to my own community, which... ya know. I get it, nobody cares about yet another streamer dude, but it is a bit intimidating almost.

If it's any consolation, i checked out your stuff, and while i don't really play TTRPG's i know a couple of people who do, so I'll be sure to recommend your stuff to them.

I have no idea why you are talking about

Lemmy.world is defederated from the major Marxist instances, so you might want to join a different instance for a fresh look. Lemmy in general is small enough to be dominated easily, what helps this is finding a good instance and treating said instance like a community with different tags, rather than treating communities like subreddits.

Yep. Lemmy isn't that big and it is generally the case that an online space is like an iceberg, with only some of the users seen a lot.

That's how social media like this works. It was the same on Reddit but the user base was larger so it would be a little more difficult to notice. A very small percentage of users actually post and since we're already a pretty small community you'll notice the same people more easily.

Like friends!

[–] witty_username@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago

I don't pay much attention to user names so I haven't noticed

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

there are dozens of us

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Yes. I think that's notmal, no? Some people have more time than others, and care more intensely about some topics.

Others are bots and paid shills too, just trying to earn a living.
